Maoist leaders believe that childbirth and subsequent childcare will be a hurdle for the movement. They fear that the couples might return to their villages to raise the children. So if any of the cadres get married, vasectomy is compulsory.
Kamlu Vetti, recruited by Maoists at the age of 12, had to get a vasectomy a decade later when he got married. For Maoist cadres, this is compulsory, he said. The perception is that childcare will prove a distraction and the movement will suffer. After surrendering last year, he availed the government offer of free reverse vasectomy operation and the couple are now expecting a baby.
In an interview to NDTV, Kamlu Vetti, 27, said he became a victim of Salwa Judum after his village was burnt in 2006. A year later, then area commander Hareram and Vasanti insisted they all join the movement. They were the ones who insisted that he undergo the compulsory vasectomy when he wanted to get married in 2017.
"When we told our leaders that we wanted to get married, they said, 'Yes, but only after vasectomy'. I decided to surrender because now we don't get support from villagers, or food... After surrendering, we wanted to have kids. That's why I got a reversal of vasectomy done," he told NDTV.
Mr Vetti said Maoist leaders believe that childbirth and subsequent childcare will be a hurdle for the movement. They fear that the couples might return to their villages to raise the children. So if any of the cadres get married, vasectomy is compulsory.
Life in the organisation was hard, especially for tribals, Kamlu Vetti recounted.
The local tribal cadres in Bastar are subjected to hardship and harassment by the senior Maoist leadership, especially ones who speak Telugu.
Being in a leadership role, they force the tribals from Bastar to fight in the frontline.
A junior-level office bearer from Kerlapal who did not wish to be named, said, "Local cadres are compelled to undergo vasectomy operations whereas top Maoist leaders have a normal family life and children".
"I want my wife and daughter back. I am separated from them," added the man whose family is still living in a Maoist camp. Sunil Sharma, Superintendent of police Sukma, said: "The rebel cadres had to undergo vasectomy as it is a precondition for marriage in the rebel camp. But now, as per the surrender policy of the government, reverse vasectomy is offered free of cost for surrendered Maoists at hospitals in Raipur".
Asked about the family of the former area committee secretary, he said, "We are planning a special operation, so he can get back to his wife and daughter".
It would be helpful if your post mentioned WHERE this is happening, that these are Maoist rebels in India.

Part of the long, always simmering China-India conflict, is the not quite surreptitious Chinese support for rebels in India.
Maoist revolutionaries in India. I have a thought. Quick 30 second ‘vasectomies’. With hedge clippers. Give the people what they want.
Party Uber alles. I for one welcome maoists not breeding.
Who the hell could be a maoist these days? It was retarded enough years ago.
For all her faults, Indira Gandhi had little use for commies
Wow, where do I sign up? Because nothing says “legit” like ‘If you want to sign up for our club, you have to get a jungle vasectomy’...
Naxalities, Naga tribesmen, Kerala state long run by communists, etc Red China involved in all of then, covertly- training, arms, ideological warfare, etc
Long time running.
later
“I for one welcome maoists not breeding.”
Certainly would have helped here...
I’ve heard getting a reversal is more challenging the longer you’ve had the procedure. After about 6-12 months it can permanent.
The headline did Yoda write, hmmmmm, hmmmm?
