Anand Ranganathan silences the southern states’ family planning argument with a devastating data comparison between Tamil Nadu and Delhi. ‘Tamil Nadu’s fertility rate is 1.3, Delhi’s is lower at 1.2. Tamil Nadu gets back 30 paisa for every 100 it gives India. Delhi gets back just 0.5 paisa and isn’t shouting.’ He asks the harder question: ‘will Stalin tomorrow demand poorer Tamil districts to break away?’ All of us have to grow together. This is hypocrisy.”
