It's well known that birth rate decreases as a nation's economic status increases. India has also gone through massive economic changes in the last 50 years, which is likely to have affected fertility rates much more than propaganda.
I'd like to see studies with control groups before believing that voluntary methods can significantly impact fertility rates.
