Statement: Should family planning be made compulsory in India?
Arguments:
- Yes. Looking to the miserable conditions in India, there is no other go.
- No. In India there are people of various religions and family planning is against the tenets of some of the religions.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Family planning is an essential step to curb population growth. So, argument I holds strong. Also, family planning being against the tenets of some of the Indian religions, it is not necessary to make it compulsory. Instead, it can be enforced by creating public awareness of the benefits of family planning. So, argument II also holds.

"miserable conditions" sounds vague, argument 1 should have been more specific to be a strong argument.
Argument 2 is strong because The Catholic church forbids contraceptive and abortion.

Yes, both statements seem to be strong, compulsory law contradicts to the religion leads to chaos.

So, here we can include our knowledge of the topics prevailing in the country but in some questions we have to stick to the statement mentioned. How do we decide which one to follow?

Here the only religion opposing family planning is the religion of peace, and thus single handedly changed the answer.

Only statement I is strong. How does letting people multiply beyond means help?
A country which is resource crunched like India afford to bend to religious dogmas.

It should not be made compulsory, as in Statement I.
But, proper awareness should be given to people.
And, compulsory law won't work, as no one can't check 'how many children, 1 possess'.
Statement II is strong as, India is a land of secularism, this law will lead to religious chaos or disrupts!
Hence, option 2 follows!

Which religion says to produce many kids? This is vague. Only A is strong. Even china understood this and they have the policy of 1 child or else the 2nd child will go in the army. Argument 2 is not valid acc 2 me.
