Ex-Maoists Tell Amit Shah Why They Had To Undergo Vasectomy Before Marriage
NDTV
The practice of 'nasbandi' is so widespread that its impact was conveyed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah during an interaction with surrendered Maoist cadres on Sunday.
"Nasbandi (vasectomy)" is a very common word in Maoist lexicon. Cadres who wish to get married are forced to undergo the procedure on the directive of senior CPI (Maoist) leaders.
A former Maoist insurgent from Telangana was instructed to undergo the procedure before he got married. Years later, after he laid down his arms and surrendered, he underwent a second surgery to reverse the procedure, eventually becoming a father to a boy.
He was not the only one. Many who lay down their arms and enter the mainstream similarly choose to reverse the procedure to start a family.
