Abstract
Family Welfare Minus Rights Doesn't Work (Indian Express, October 17, 2000): Baxi argues that population control and family welfare policies fail without grounding in reproductive rights. He critiques coercive approaches to fertility control, advocates for women's reproductive autonomy, and argues effective family planning requires rights-based frameworks respecting individual dignity and choice. In The Indian Express.
