After a review of the injustices already committed under the proposed Maharashtra compulsory sterilization legislation although it has not even become law yet it is stated that blaming the victim of poverty for the poverty is common in all countries. Compulsory sterilization is unethical unless it is applied equally to all classes has a process of appeal and if compensation for the lost children is provided. In the case of India such compensation would have to be in the form of old age security. It is called unconscionable to force sterilization without 1st providing social development for the poor. The Indian civil service plan is called more acceptable because it offers a series of disincentives to a priviledged class rather than compulsory sterilization
