Arguments evaluation (compulsory family planning in India): Should family planning be made compulsory? Consider—(I) Yes: given miserable conditions, there is no other go; (II) No: India's religious diversity includes faiths where family planning is against tenets—judge strength by policy relevance and overstatement.

Given data

• Proposal: Make family planning compulsory nationwide.
• Argument I: Uses an absolute ('no other go') without addressing rights, implementation, or alternatives (education, incentives).
• Argument II: Opposes on religious-tenet grounds—invokes diversity but does not weigh public-health considerations or constitutional frameworks.

Concept/ApproachStrong arguments must avoid absolutism and address constitutional, ethical, and practical dimensions. Both arguments are incomplete and over-generalised.

Step-by-step evaluationStep 1: I is sweeping and ignores feasible non-coercive pathways—weak.Step 2: II appeals to religious objections without engaging public interest and rights balancing—also weak.

Verification/AlternativeEffective population policies stress voluntary adoption, education, and access rather than compulsion.

Common pitfalls

• Framing complex public policy as all-or-nothing.
• Using singular grounds (religion) to resolve multi-factor issues.

Final AnswerNeither I nor II is strong.
