'The book is timely, invigorating and thought-provoking and makes a well-researched and very informative contribution to a critical understanding of the history of population-control measures in India. I am sure it will become a standard reference source for scholars and policy-makers interested in social demography, rights in relation to reproductive health and policies on population, health and family planning' - Population Studies 'The book is timely, invigorating and thought-provoking and makes a well-researched and very informative contribution to a critical understanding of the history of population-control measures in India.
