The fertility rate has dropped pretty dramatically from its nearly constant rate before the 90s. The growth rate should correspond to this change over the next two decades. It tends to take a while for the growth rate to accurate match the birth rate, especially when you consider the growth in life expectancy.
Pakistan fertility rate: 3.5 (the drop from the early 90s was extreme and sudden)
India fertility rate: 2.6 (the drop has been continuous and steady after the 60s)
It's pretty amazing how quickly birth rates have gone down across the Muslim world over the past two decades.
