India’s anti-natalist policies are not as effective and successful as China’s as only limited success can been seen in India’s anti-natalist policies in reducing birth rates at the national scale in India. Its changes are far even across this large nation. This is might due to India’s cultural, religious, socio-economic and geographical variation, causing the policies to not fit in the context of India. Seeing that by 2025, India’s population will probably overtake that of China, the Indian government had to enforce population growth control to prevent its growing population from further straining the country’s resources, with the aim to reducing the fertility rate. The Indian government have initiated a plethora of advertising campaigns to educate and encourage citizens to plan their families. For example, “We two, ours two” is a slogan meaning one family, two children and is intended to reinforce the message of family planning thereby aiding population control. All forms of mass communication media were used to develop social support for the idea of the small family. In addition, it was outlawed by the government to carry out forced sterilization in 1970, thus the government is trying to prompt the population into undergoing sterilization now. The goal of the policy was achieved as the fertility rate in India have been suppressed. It has been estimated that the total fertility rate fell from 5.87 in 1960 to 2.60 in 2013. Although in the past decade, India’s population experienced rapid growth of 1.76% every year, however, in the previous decade, the population growth was 2.13% which means that India’s population growth is decreasing slowly and steadily. However the fact that the Indian-natalist policies are perceived as less successful than China’s “one-child policy” cannot be denied as while both China’s and India’s total fertility rate (TFR) were similar in 1970 at 5.5, the decline for China has been f
