Abstract
India can take legitimate pride that it was one of the earliest nations to introduce a population policy, yet fertility control remains a most contentious problem of electoral politics of India in the 1990s. Paradoxically, development politics is perhaps the only way to solve India's population problem. In solving the population problem the central
conflict is thus between electoral politics on the one side and development politics on the other.
