Book Summary

The Population Myth: Islam, Family Planning and Politics in India examines one of India's most debated social and political issues—the relationship between population growth, religion, and public policy. In this book, S. Y. Quraishi challenges common misconceptions about Muslim population growth and argues that demographic trends are influenced more by factors such as education, income, healthcare access, and women's empowerment than by religion alone. Drawing on census data, demographic research, and policy analysis, he explores the history of family planning in India and critiques the politicization of population issues. The book seeks to replace myths and fears with evidence-based discussion, encouraging readers to understand population dynamics through facts rather than stereotypes. It contributes to broader debates on development, governance, social harmony, and public policy in India.
