India's state of emergency between 1975 and 1977 included a family planning initiative that began in April 1976 through which the government hoped to lower India's ever increasing population.
This program used propaganda and monetary incentives to convince citizens to get sterilized. People who agreed to get sterilized would receive land, housing, and money or loans.
Because of this program, thousands of men received vasectomies and even more women received tubal ligations. However, the program focused more on sterilizing women than men.
We all know about India’s great overpopulation problem. That is why some states in India had made every crime punishable by forced sterilization in the 1970s. Some were punished for traveling on a train without buying a ticket.
In total, 8.3 million vasectomies and tubal ligations had been done ever since.
