Abiding Appeal of Neo-Malthusianism

Vol. 39, Issue No. 32, 07 Aug, 2004
Mohan Rao

The belief that population growth lies at the heart of a range of social and economic problems enjoys widespread appeal. What explains the enormous appeal of this argument? Is it propaganda? Does it stem from other atavistic anxieties about tribe and race? Or is it because of its evident simplicity in explaining a deeply fractured world?

Two-Child Norm and Panchayats

Vol. 38, Issue No. 33, 16 Aug, 2003
Mohan Rao

The Haryana legislation, now upheld by the Supreme Court debarring those with more than two children from contesting panchayat elections, is a serious misreading of the relationship between population and resources and an egregious assault on the process of democratisation. The law selectively affects socially and economically deprived groups, given that it is they who register higher fertility rates.

'Scientific' Racism : A Tangled Skein

Vol. 38, Issue No. 08, 16 Feb, 2003
Mohan Rao

Ideas of race have insidiously entered the construction of communalism in our country, while ideas of eugenics, the `science' of race, inform a number of policies related both to population programmes and reservations for the dalits and backward classes. How has this come about?

Population Policies: States Approve Coercive Measures

Vol. 36, Issue No. 29, 21 Jul, 2001
Mohan Rao

With states evolving independent policies which appear to be contradicting the National Population Policy's core statement regarding the government's commitment to a target-free approach to family planning, the World Population Day saw the launch of a broad-based campaign of protest.

National Population Policy 2000: Re-examining Critical Issues

Vol. 36, Issue No. 16, 21 Apr, 2001
Devaki Jain, Mohan Rao

With many states now having evolved and announced state population policies, there is a need to examine their links with the central policy and also to take a closer look at the experience of implementing the policy. While there has been some change in the content of the policy the blinkered vision on population and people's needs continues to be evident.

Family Planning Programme

Vol. 35, Issue No. 49, 02 Dec, 2000
Mohan Rao

A paradigm shift in the family planning programme strategy of the Indian government is under way. The new programme places emphasis on the Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) approach to the complete neglect of primary health care. This article focuses on the context that gave birth to the new initiative and, analysing epidemiological data on women's health in the country, undertakes a critique of the RCH approach.

Mohan Rao

Mohan Rao Health and Development: Intersectoral Linkages in India by K V Narayana; Rawat Publications, Jaipur, pp 197, Rs 220 (hardcover).
WHAT is the nature of the relationship between health and socio-economic development? Are historical lessons valid when it is claimed that history is at an end? What are the insights the history of health offers for health policy in developing countries today? Are favourable health outcomes related to economic growth alone or to egalitarianism? These are some of the questions that propelled the investigations in this brief book.
