In it, Rao endeavors to critique the family-planning programme in India, its assumptions, unstated bias, and implications. <br />
It describes the approach for health in India which is more about doctors, hospitals, and technical interventions rather than living conditions, work environment, and access to food etc., criticizing the over-dependence on technology in family planning program, and traces the evolution and growth of family-planning program in India. It also talks about the death and resurfacing of [[eugenic]] ideas, [[Malthusianism]] and [[Neo-Malthusian]] approach to population and the impact of the [[International Conference on Population and Development]] etc. {{citation needed|date=August 2015}}<br />
