While other experts have alternatively argued for the intrauterine loop, sterilization or the pill, Chandrasekhar recognizes that none alone can provide the answer; popular fears of the loop and surgery bear him out. Instead, he vigorously favors a "cafeteria approach," giving Indians the widest choice of birth control techniques.
