Reply to K.T. Ram Mohan
K.T. Ram Mohan takes issue with several points in our article, "Kerala State, India: Radical Reform as Development" (MR, January 1991). Mohan contends that Kerala still suffers from being part of the capitalist world. We agree and never claimed otherwise.

The author, an expert in the field of public health, shows by amassing a large amount of empirical evidence that the Malthusian and neo-Malthusian mode…
