Conceptions by Aditya Bharadwaj
The book examines the causes and consequences of infertility and the rapid proliferation of new reproductive technologies in 'modern India'. The book emerges from an ethnographic inquiry that explains how assisted conception, as a means of bypassing infertility, is being accommodated, understood and used in India today.-

"This book is undoubtedly a valuable contribution to the emerging ethnographies from non-Western settings on assisted conceptionIt is also a pertinent reminder of the significance of religion in understanding the local variations in both managing and making sense of assisted conception. With its comparative gaze, it provides an important mirror, challenging Western assumptions." Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (JRAI)
