It's hard to find much that is right with the surrogacy bill in India.
The bill’s intention apparently is to avoid ‘exploitation of poor women’ who are lured into being commercial surrogates for monetary compensation. But clearly that purpose is the last thing that will be served by banning commercial surrogacy.
We got Gita Aravamudan, journalist and author of the book Baby Makers: The Story of Indian Surrogacy, to join us on this episode of Swarajya Standard. Do watch and leave your comment below.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
