Nation's Shameful Female Infanticide by Lewis Sooting on 24 May 2011

This heart rendering news causes one's conscience to crumple in shame at our society's shameful act of terminating female foetuses. Total lack of Govt. commitment to introduce the strictest punishment to the offenders and to deal with such cases on a war footing is adding to the shameful deeds of our culture rich Indian society. This has been progressing in brash secrecy with the medical fraternity, diagnosis clinics and the backward families, all ruthlessly ensuring female infanticide is not violating any laws of the land. These acts of selective abortions are a booming business where families desperately welcome a male child and curse the mother if she is carrying a female foetuse. The report is shortly to be published in a prestigious magazine 'Lancet' and it will not be reaching those families who encourage such acts as only the Govt.and the medical fraternity will read the report but may not be inclined to appropriate legal action for lack of will or a family's private choice.

emale foetuses by kevin on 24 May 2011

So it is proved that financial status is not the problem for female foetuses. Till now female foetuses is because a girl child born dowry, education etc is the main reason. If yes how the rich and educated is killing the females. These are all feminist propoganda for getting more fund and power and reservation for womens. The reason is something else.

The Babus educated nation where everything is a bribe by Sanjay on 24 May 2011

We see our Babus country that after independence our statistics on these things have only became worse instead of better. It reflects our babus education system and Babus values that everything is a bribe for position and dowry. Everything is money. Our education if we want so-called good education is a bribe and governmental schools are laughable without any facilities. We pay a bribe for education unlike Hindu education where upon after education completed was asked payment and often times were completely free like most modern countries. We see large scale homosexuality even Rahul Gandhi being among them. We wonder why if females atmas cant find a female body? Why become male so much shame as we learn this in Mahahharat. We think how great is the babus culture but forget our Hindu roots which we enjoyed more liberty and freedom, and were atleast the best . We bash Hindus who were the best pull something from the Dark ages to justify more nonsense,and become more backwards/illiterate.
