Every morning I sip up my milk with newspaper as my companion. The news headlines frequently shooting the dart on females in India.
There I go thinking crazily how people can do this?how can they just so heartlessly , silently and with a war-soldier –killing-its-enemy outlook and confidence screw a life to hell when it has just arrived? How can a lady~ more importantly a mother ever dream of FEMALE INFANTICIDE?!
I am on a holiday back home.when I tend to leisurly flip through the pages of the newspaper I get my eyes quickly catch up the header of INDIA POISED-SAVING A GIRL CHILD( a times of India initiative). With a follow up of news related to injustice to this sex(and most of them heading with female infanticide and feticide).I really abhor such activities….
Before I start it off.. my full day gets tumbled with this thought..now what else can be more sour?i mean I am a girl and am still alive! And am doing pretty good by now with everything my acads, my passions, my relations EVERYTHING!! Then why don’t u people take my example (that’s the most average and “no-risk” one… after all I am not souring high like sunita Williams or fighting hedious crime,which no doubt requires guts ,like kiran bedi!.. I am just being the most normal which can be carved out of the clay). That’s what I feel like spitting at the society… India is advancing towards being a stronger nation, towards being a world power; towards being a better place with all these SKEWED up ratios and farther more a greater public which enhances all this silently. (hats off to all of u! you doing a great service for this country and above all man kind…by just trying to lower the world population by an easy in hand trick of calling us, the women “burden , family fight introducer , a sinner to fall in the ecstasy of love blah blah blah”)
But what most of us would say at the above statement--“No I don’t agree with you! Because the upcoming families are mods..they never differentiate(atleast my family) it hardly matters today. Girls are capturing the bank of fame, good earn and social praise faster than guys..it doesnot make a difference as at the bottom line BOTH OF THEM earn a living today" and I hav a few honey points….
1. The ratio among children up to the age of 6 was 962 girls per 1,000 boys in 1986, but 20 years later the inequity was actually worse: 922 girls per 1,000 boys.
2. Infanticide is illegal in India (though never prosecuted), and laws are also in place to stop sex- selective abortions. But in some places, national rules don't hold enough sway to overcome local religious and social customs - which remain biased in favor of sons over daughters.
3. Abortion is a lucrative business that many doctors do not want to see curtailed. Right now, it is used to save 1 out of 20,000 fetuses and kill 20 out of every 100 because [it reveals that the baby] is the wrong gender.
And here the most basic fact(an article in a newspaper)-
This is for all you unnatural thinkers that only poor are carrying this activity for such “unnatural number” of sex ratio-
".... if the first-born was a girl, the number of girls born subsequently fell off precipitously. Among second children, only 759 girls were born for every 1,000 boys, and among third children, there were 719 girls for every 1,000 boys.Although anti-girl bias is usually associated with the rural poor, the study shows it is far more widespread among more well-to-do urban dwellers.Households where the mother had a better education -- and presumably an income that would allow her family to afford testing -- were significantly less likely to give birth to a second daughter if their first child was a girl.
The study did not find differences among religious groups.”
now you got anything to dispute? If still then check out the papers and the web for your own help… its just such an abstruse situation to which still many Indians are capitulating and I stand up to castigate it….
I ridicule it… I disgrace it….and above all I HATE it.
How can the civilized behave barbaric on such conditions?how can the humanity fall to such chromatic lethal levels? How can Indians act so fatuously callow?
(I know that steps have been taken and situations are further improving but still I would like a pinch of my own efforts in the relief because the dark side is that the flood of this grave truth is still not tormented in areas like rajasthan,tamil nadu,orrisa and above all the state where I presently belong-gujarat! And I know that I can make a difference because I know that all the people who glance through this will definitely not let the plight rule because WE ARE THE GENERATION TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE)

Spot on maam. Female foeticide is a heinous crime and should be chucked out of existence immediately. Hell, lets not waste time with the obvious...
I personally think that this is a vicious cycle which is our relic carried on from the middle ages. In a society where girls have to fight for an education, a job, a marriage on their terms and then making their descisions heard, well its not easy being a girl in this country. I mean, stop looking at the big problems (dowry infanticide et al), just look at our own lives. Tell me, how many times have girls had to compromise because of the fact that they were girls. Even in well to do middle class families, the son is forced to take up science (the supposed manly stream) and the daughter is forced to take up humanities. Daughter does B.A. and is married off. If a 1000 guys are allowed freedom of thought, a 100 girls are allowed that. The situation is pathetic. I just wanted to take you to the fact that along with the ones who never lived, most of the girls who live do not live life, their way.
It needs a good thinking to comment on this and deliberate it to society... I have no idea about a girls physical phases may be in discrete or abstract..
but as you say about quotes in newspapers it has turned a barbarism... i sometimes feel men clogged by lusty eyes at an instance are hannibals! I have fewer words to comment I am sorry. But knowing this abstract I feel guilt if such thot has come across my mind's workstation. rather I can give a shoulder to help you for bringing a change...
Regards.
hey great job.. i think all the people in india shud be forced to read this and understand what you have said here.. the topic of female infantcide is eroding our country from inside and if its not stopped soon, it might be too late.. i hope more and more people understand the gravity of their doings.. but as for ur blog, it was spot on and very nicely written.. keep it up!!
@ banerji~ u correct ... the gurls hav a tough life to live but above all i just point on one very infantasimle point... the point of giving them a chance to live...
a chance to prove themselves..
and yer response shows u care... so help out.. in future help out to make a difference...thanks buddy for ur support:)
@vineith- really nice to hear tht u touchd by it nd wont let the thought cross ur mind again.... keep it up
@ sohil bhaiya- hey bro! nice to hav a comment frem ur side here.... thanks fer the tym u took out to read it( cus i kno u r busi)
first of all!!!...i must say!! a really nice wrk...n a worthy initiative>>..... :)
wel now tht this point is raised(which is really appreciable!!!), i think we need to go somewhat deeper into this!!... why do these kinda thing happen here in the developing countries??/// why?? why not in the ones which r more advanced in terms of thinking, maturity and technology????... why do people make -ve use of the most advanced technologies??... why is it so tht even after many law enforcements the situation is relly same!!??... the answer lies somewhere around us!!!.... maybe i could help in this!!...
.... thinking.. yes,,,, the way we think is the way we make thing happen around us!!... n these beliefs n thinking is in turn dependent on ous surroundings>>>>... if a crap!!(correctly said!!)is done by one n watched by many:::: what do u expect???... lemme say.. its known as exponential growth!!.. same is with infanticide!!! n the report..ya report!!!... i truly agree with it!!.. after all who r the ones...the ones who can afford the expenses of underlying technological changes!!???...its us(the urbans) n to my despair with the technology becoming cheaper n cheaper..this phase is shifting more n more to the rural ones>>.... further disturbing the natural balance of sex ratio!!!..
the only hope is a serios law enforcement with mass enlightenment....against the brutal practise>>> ......THE FEMALE INFANTICIDE
