Events[edit]

16 April – A family planning initiative involves the vasectomy of thousands of men and tubal ligation of women, either for payment or under coercive conditions. (The minimum age for marriage is also raised to 21 years for men and 18 years for women.) The son of then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, is largely blamed for what turned out to be a failed program.^[1] A strong backlash against any initiative associated with family planning followed the highly controversial program, which continues (in part) into the 21st century.^[2]
