If America can change the entire fertility of a country merely by the president getting frustrated, imagine what we could do when the entire legislature is upset!
Or the one comment is just used to defray blame, America does not have cosmic superpowers and India is in fact capable of making their own national decisions, seeing that they are a state.
Sanger like most historical characters is imperfect (so was LBJ) but it is a gross simplification of history to pitch them as the root cause.
