About this listen

In the 1960s, when the world saw India as a land of snake charmers, it set up a committee to consider the pros and cons of legalising abortion. Abortion had become a serious crime in India in 1862 when the British imposed their penal code. The committee took a progressive view, and India got its Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act in 1971. Listen to this audio-only episode for a brief history.
