Prakash O, Rao TS. Sexuality research in India: An update. Indian J Psychiatry. 2010 Jan;52(Suppl 1):S260-3. doi: 10.4103/0019-5545.69243. PMID: 21836690; PMCID: PMC3146233.

This article gave much background information on the general state of psychosexual research in India on both men and women, as well as statistics regarding rates of sexual dysfunction in India. Additionally, it refers to studies, which are referenced in many other sources I found, however I believe the studies are too outdated to be used in my proposed section, as it holds a modern focus.

Manjula, M., Prasadarao, P.S.D.V., Kumaraiah, V., Mishra, H. and Raguram, R. (2003), Sexual dysfunction in single males: A perspective from India. J. Clin. Psychol., 59: 701-713. https://doi.org/10.1002/jclp.10153

This article provided much information on Dhat syndrome, both medically and culturally. It explains how the idealistic basis of Dhat syndrome traces back to ancient scriptures, and how said ideas have continued to hold immense social value. Moreover, this article provides a more emic perspective on male sexual dysfunction in India, as it was written by a single male, which is the most heavily affected demographic in this regard.

Sathyanarayana Rao TS, Darshan MS, Tandon A. An epidemiological study of sexual disorders in south Indian rural population. Indian J Psychiatry. 2015 Apr-Jun;57(2):150-7. doi: 10.4103/0019-5545.158143. PMID: 26124520; PMCID: PMC4462783.

This study provided much-needed empirical data, and is the most recent of the sources I found. Unfortunately, finding more recent resources (within 5 years) has proven quite difficult, however the data from this study is very useful in the explanation of modern Indian sexual health. Furthermore, the study targeted both men and women for the purpose of cross-comparison, which gives a much more rounded data set, and contributed to the section on female sexual health in India (paragraph 3).

Banerjee, S.K., Andersen, K.L., Warvadekar, J. et al. How prepared are young, rural women in India to address their sexual and reproductive health needs? a cross-sectional assessment of youth in Jharkhand. Reprod Health 12, 97 (2015). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12978-015-0086-8

This source gave a great deal of information on sexual and reproductive health in India. Additionally, this source detailed more about the importance of sexual reproductive health education. Information on social factors contributing to sexual dysfunction were also analyzed in this article, showing higher rates of female sexual dysfunction in rural areas, as was true for males in similar studies.

General, R. (2011). India: Special bulletin on maternal mortality in India 2007–09. Sample registration system bulletin.

Provided a statistic cited in the article draft used to support information about unsafe abortion's impact on the maternal death rate in India. This statistic was found in another source, however the original citation was found and thus used for the purpose of this article draft.
