Just heard about something like this. Is this a rumour or truth? Modern birth control in India?

Indian politicians are considering giving televisions to people in the hope
they'll watch the box rather than have sex. Health minister CP Thakur told
lawmakers people were having sex because they were starved of other
entertainment. He claimed a prolonged powercut in New York had once led to a
baby boom.

"Entertainment is an important component of the population policy. We want
people to watch television," Mr Thakur said.

Socialist Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav asked if cheap television sets
could be made available for poor people. Mr Thakur said the government is
considering the option.

This is India not America.

What India and other over-populated nations need to do is have formal regulations regarding how many children people can have. Its just stupid that families are having 4 or more children still.
