Copypaste

There appear to be verbatim passages from several publications in here; it's difficult to verify fully, because although the books appear in Google books, they are not fully searchable. So far I have found content copied from Social problems in India and Population law: an instrument for population stabilisation. Hairhorn (talk) 18:45, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'Gram panchayat' / 'Hum do, hamare do'

On Human population control#India the following unsourced statements appear:

Only those with two or fewer children are eligible for election to a Gram panchayat, or local government.

We two, ours two ("Hum do, hamare do" in Hindi) is a slogan meaning one family, two children and is intended to reinforce the message of family planning thereby aiding population control.

Both statements are not included in this page. Could someone add them here in the right context (if correct of course), with sources? The section on the 'Human population control' page needs revision as well. Wiki-uk (talk) 12:05, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Editing

Hello! I was reading this article and would like to contribute to developing it. I would like to contribute more to the history and perspectives of family planning from government, non profit, men, women, family and cultural perspectives. Another contribution is to discuss more about the differences in India's states and regions for family planning. Below are a list of references I would add to the article to bring in more information in an unbiased and logical manner.

Article Suggestions

Hello! I was reading the article and as I read it I got the impression that the article was giving an opinion on family planning in India. For example, in the Fertility Rate, you state how the fact that the population is declining is beneficial. In saying this, you introduce an opinion and the article loses its neutral tone. I would suggest revising it and excluding some of these persuasive words. EliGamez (talk) 21:55, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
