Alright, from your use of words,

"Going against the mainstream is escapism?" You cannot map escapism with popularity. Escapism is subjective run from any sort of confinement. I am alarmed about the misinformed mapping of escapism and popularity.

"When someone who got married at 32 says it, it is perhaps a clear indication of self-awareness." I highly doubt about this mapping too. Age and maturity has no mapping.

" For whom the parental instinct is super strong. They definitely should have kids. It would be ridiculous to tell them they should not."

Strongly agree to this reason. Not having kids is a subjective decision to be made using informed choices derived from a well sampled data points of self evaluation. Agreed on this point. But care to elaborate on what kind of freedom is taken away from with a child ? So far as I understand, the freedom being talked about is usually defined in pragmatic sense. The choices one makes, in my view point must be true, beautiful and good. The freedom you get from this choice might be true, but how about beautiful and good ?

"Why? I am no missionary. The point is that it is a choice, and it should be a choice." I agree,but as a Citizen of India, dont you think, it should be ethical responsibility of a citizen to involve the effect of your choice on the nation apart from personal benefits/losses ?

Whats the balance to be attained in this case? Just a disclaimer that

"These things may not matter to many others."

Apart from these nation-concerned decisions; on a lighter note; I think not raising a child (be it an adopted one or a biological one), takes you further from one of the innate characteristic of human being that is "to create" and take joy from "the creation". So do you paint/sculpt/make ? If yes, extrapolate this joy to 'a life'.
