>How is this relevant to overpopulation being or not being a problem?

Looking at population density of India, I don't think it's population issue. You mentioned overpopulation in your response to India's problem. I assure you, India can grow as rich as US even at 3 billion population.

India has many problems but population at present in not one of those, maybe it will become a problem if population growth is kept uncheck. But don't blame slow development in past and present to population.

Population being accumulated in few cities is a problem of government and their failure to understand how market works and how they can better it.

None of the political party in India have any viable development plan.

You should look at the population density of Indian cities, not the mean population density all across India. Metros like Mumbai and Kolkata are insanely densely populated. When all the good jobs are in cities like these, overpopulation does become a limiting factor.
