I guess this makes the assumption that each woman is impregnated by different men. If 10 women and one man had a TFR of 1.5 the population is still growing no?
But in normal circumstances you assume that there is an equal number of men and women in population. Or, to be more precise, you assume 105:100 men:women ratio, because that's what statistics show in most countries. That's why you need TFR slighly higher than 2 to have constant population size.
Outside of war/post war its unlikely to have a situation where there are 10 woman to each man.
So you are saying India's new-born gender divide is 91% men and 9% women?
Abortion based on gender is illegal in India. Most (all?) gynecologists in India won't reveal gender due to this until a certain stage (20 weeks) in the pregnancy after which abortion is illegal (requires court order).
