This is to be expected as India develops as a country, no? It's happened to every developed nation so far that I know of.

I don't necessarily agree with the idea that it's caused by increased quality of education or QoL, though. It makes much more sense to me that it's mostly - if not purely - driven by the population being subjected to industrial work, making time and energy that would usually go to child rearing diminished.
