There are still many unanswered questions:
- what percentage efficiency does this method have? Would its
introduction actually lead to an increase in the birth rate owing to the
false sense of security, if the contraceptive (abortive?!) effect is not
100% effective (there is less motivation to use condoms in this case)?
- of course, ethics. Abortion is a big undecided debate in every country
on Earth. In this case, neither the mother nor the foetus are aware of
the effects of the contraception when it occurs at such an early stage.
- how to balance the ethics debate against more urgent needs. India's
and the world's most crucial problem in the 21st century is the control
of population growth: unchecked growth could neutralise all benefits of
liberalisation or other attempts at progress. For this reason alone, if
the new drug brings results, it should be considered, providing:

- the long term effects of the drug are known, on genetic development as
well as side effects: are the recipients more susceptible to cancer or
other ills?

I am principally for the drug owing to its direct implications for
population control, although I know too little about it until now. What
I fear is that a potentially useful development will be either stolen by
some conniving country or organisation or ideology, or that it will die
in the blaze of the ethics debate inside and outside India.

Having been a resident of Shillong for almost 14 years of my life and having
spent almost 3 years in Calcutta, I've some views to offer on this subject.

First, Shillong has been part of Meghalaya and not Assam for almost 20 years
now.  The language spoken by the people of Shillong should have been Khasi 
and not Assamese (just some nitpicking :)).

Now, talking about Shillong, the people do feel highly alienated by the 
presence of outsiders (foreigners - in their lingua franca) in the city.  There
have been and continue to be massive drives to remove anyone other than Khasis
(or Jaintias and Garos) from running businesses in Shillong. There has also
been a drive to make life unbearable for the working middle and lower classes
who are not from these tribes (rather, for "plains" people).  Shillong may
have been cosmopolitan once upon a time, but it certainly isn't at present.

Next, about Calcutta, there seems to be a deep resentment for businessmen from
other regions of India among the middle class in Calcutta - to be specific,
Marwaris. The feelings go deep, but the attitude of "secularism" maintained
by the Bhadrolok of Calcutta does not allow any leaders to rise from Calcutta
who could lead people to actively go for their opponents necks. Another 
reason could be that money, and hence power, lies in the hands of these 
businessmen.

The reason for these attitudes lies in economic problems .. and Kashmir is
no exception.

I would gladly welcome the chance to make any arrangements for my previous
profs, even though I am not "oblized" to. It helps a tremendous lot to know
and compare notes on what is happening back in the IIT's, maybe even sound
out any possible positions or career opportunities available back there or
outside. Far from being a burden, their input on such crucial matters is more
than welcome.

I don't intend to get into a Islam vs. Hinduism but heavy taxes would surely
provide an economic incentive to move to Islam (because then one would
not have to pay it).  As for the tax not being a burden, that is an
empirical question.  As a disclaimer, it is my impression that Hindu
Kings were equally demanding in their tax policies.  Once again, no

  SCI has a tendency to generalize and extremize everything, it appears.
  Secondly, people tend to have opinions on things which means it is 
  this way or that way.  In that sense, it is not too wrong to think
  it is either (a) or (c).  Why raise such a big fuss about every 
  little statement of that sort ?  

  Look at your own statement above - Did you not say MAJORITY of 
  Indian guys ?  As if the majority reads and posts on SCI ??!!

   To tell the truth, it is no less "scary".
