In fact, Rajaji was against family planning, as only the educated community will opt for it, and the under privileged will not restrict the family size because a large family provides more security.

Dwindling Brahmin population after independence:
If one takes Karnataka as an illustration, the population of Brahmins has decreased from 6-7% to 3-4% after India’s independence. The fact is that the population of native Brahmins in Karnataka is less than 2.5%, Where as in Kerala it is less than 1.5% and in Tamilnadu, it is 2.5% (The percentage was 3-5% at the time of Independence). Several Brahmins from U.P., Bihar have migrated to Karnataka due to anti - Brahmin atmosphere, hence Brahmin population is more in Karnataka.
Brahmins were the first to adopt family planning since its inception. For several decades Brahmin families had two children and recently they resorted to one child norm. Now owing to late marriages of Brahmin youths, there are no issues amongst those couples. In the peculiar concept of secularism and vote bank politics prevailing in India, even constitution doesn`t bother communities having low population.
