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)
