Indira Gandhi : Forced Mass Sterilization

In September 1976, Sanjay Gandhi initiated a widespread compulsory sterilisation programme to limit population growth. The exact extent of Sanjay Gandhi's role in the implementation of the programme is disputed, with some writers[1][2][3][4] holding Gandhi directly responsible for his authoritarianism, and other writers[5] blaming the officials who implemented the programme rather than Gandhi himself. It is clear that international pressure from the United States, United Nations, and World Bank played a role in the implementation of these population control measures.[6]

The campaign primarily involved getting males to undergo vasectomy. Quotas were set up that enthusiastic supporters and government officials worked hard to achieve. There were allegations of coercion of unwilling candidates too.[7] In 1976–1977, the programme led to 8.3 million sterilisations, most of them forced, up from 2.7 million the previous year. The bad publicity led many 1977 governments to stress that family planning is entirely voluntary.[8]

The Emergency in India from 1975 and 1977 resulted from internal and external conflict for the country, and resulted in misuse of power and human rights violations from the government.[9] On August 6, 1976, the state of Maharashtra became the first governmental unit to enact legislation mandating compulsory sterilization of men and women after the birth of a third child, passing the Family (Restrictions on Size) Bill on its third reading and sending it to the President of India for the required assent. The President reacted favorably and sent the bill back to the Maharashtra government with suggested amendments that would be necessary for an enactment, but before the measure could be passed, new elections were called and the legislation was not passed.[10]

Stopping short of forced sterilization, the national government enacted an incentive program for a family planning initiative that began in 1976 in an attempt to lower the exponentially increasing population. This program focused on male citizens and used propaganda and monetary incentives to impoverished citizens to get sterilized.[11] People who agreed to get sterilized would receive land, housing, and money or loans.[12] This program led millions of men to receive vasectomies, and an undetermined amount of these were coerced. There were reports of officials blocking off villages and dragging men to surgical centers for vasectomies.[13] However, after much protest and opposition, the country switched to targeting women through coercion, withholding welfare or ration card benefits, and bribing women with food and money.[14] This switch was theorized to be based on the principle women are less likely to protest for their own rights.[13] Many deaths occurred as a result of both the male and the female sterilization programs.[13] These deaths were likely attributed to poor sanitation standards and quality standards in the Indian sterilization camps.

Sanjay Gandhi, son of the then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, was largely responsible for what turned out to be a failed program.[9] A strong mistrust against family planning initiatives followed the highly controversial program, the effect of which continues into the 21st century.[15] Sterilization policies are still enforced in India, targeting mostly indigenous and lower-class women who are herded into the sterilization camps.[14] The most recent abuse of family planning systems was highlighted by the death of 15 lower-class women in a sterilization center in Chhattisgarh in 2014.[14] Despite these deaths, sterilization is still the highest used method of birth control with 39% of women in India turning to sterilization in 2015.[16]

David Frum and Vinod Mehta state that the sterilization programmes were initiated at the behest of the IMF and the World Bank:

"Forced sterilisation was by far the most calamitous exercise undertaken during the Emergency. The IMF and World Bank had periodically shared their fears with New Delhi about the uncontrolled rise in population levels. India’s democracy was a hurdle: no government could possibly enact laws limiting the number of children a couple could have without incurring punishment at the ballot box. But with democracy suspended, the IMF and World Bank encouraged Indira to pursue the programme with renewed vigour. Indira and Sanjay, the self-styled socialists, inflicting on Indians the humiliation of forced sterilisation in order to appease western loan sharks: the irony was lost on them. Socialism, like much else, had been reduced to a slogan."

  • I recall Sanjay, son of Indian PM Indira Gandhi awarding villagers transistor radios in exchange for undergoing sterilisation in the mid 1970s. He combined a state of emergency, eugenics, sterilisation passports, and radio news propaganda in the same fell swoop. Sound familiar? India was and remains the elite’s testing ground. Gates’ recent damaging and fatal escapades in India and globally are a reboot of those bioethical abuses. Levich has analysed in depth Gate’s profound and disruptive intervention into Pharma. India has long been a more unregulated and ungoverned medical Wild West than Europe. [1] [archive]

Western support for depopulation

In the early 1950s, the Rockefeller Foundation conducted fertility studies in India. They studied 8,000 tribal people in Punjab to determine whether contraceptive tablets could dramatically reduce fertility rates. Over the next two decades, the Rockefeller Foundation conducted frequent anti-fertility programs in India.[18]

Kissinger's NSSM-200 published in 1974 is one of the key documents on how to use USAID help to reduce the global population and it calls for the reduction of the population of the below 13 countries: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. See: "National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests (NSSM200)"

Fertility-regulating vaccines have been tested in India. These vaccines have the potential to make women permanently infertile. The main carriers being used in the prototype vaccines were the diphtheria toxoid DT and the tetanus toxoid TT, which are the very vaccinations that are being implemented throughout developing countries today. The prestigious journal Nature Medicine reported that the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has done clinical trials in India of a tetanus toxoid vaccine (TT) laced with a pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). A 2022 documentary shows how the WHO has sponsored tetanus vaccine programs. The filmmakers allege that the vaccines were intentionally “laced with the hCG hormone that causes miscarriages and infertility.”[19]

Covid-19 vaccines also have a negative impact on fertility.

The primary obstacle to population control initiatives had not been the political will to initiate them, but rather their technological feasibility, as each of the approaches had various issues that made them challenging to implement on a broad scale. For this reason, a way to reduce fertility through vaccination had always been a long sought solution to the problem, as it is very easy to rapidly deploy vaccines to target of demographics, and questions regarding their safety are easy to gloss over due to the widespread societal faith in vaccination. As a result, decades of work has gone into trying to develop vaccines that can sterilize people. In turn, a variety of highly unethical forced experiments have been conducted (particularly in the third world), and sterilizing vaccines have gone from being labeled as a "conspiracy theory" to be in casually referred to in the literature as "immunocontraception."[20]
