It is very stupid of people to do such a thing. Nowadays people in the cities believe that girls are their walking stick in the old age instead of sons. Sons now do not even bother about if their parents are alive or dead. Having dauthers is a happiness and lightness to your heart. Now girls are no longer behind boys they are much ahead of them in many fields. We indians also pray to Lakshmi and when Lakshmi(girl chid)comes home we regrect her how foolish.

I am back here coz I wanted to post something which I have written. "Proud to be a WOMAN" I bring happiness and brightness I bring smiles and I spread them I take pain and I give life I smile and I endure I am patient and I control my anger I am tender and yet I am strong I give love and I spread warmth I am not respected and I am degraded I am hurt and yet I go on I work day and night To see my family happy I sweat and I bleed Irrespective of caste and creed I am the symbol of love Yet I am not loved enough I do deserve a lot more than a pint of respect But I expect none in return I do not expect lavishes and luxury I do not expect diamonds and pearls I do not expect silks and satin Nor do I expect publicity and praises The only thing I expect in return is your smile and your well-being. You may be wondering who am I Well…is it so hard to even guess who is me? I am a daughter and I am a sister I am a friend and I am a wife I am also a mother along with the others. But most of all I am a woman, And I am proud to be a woman. Hats off, to my mother and all the women out there who have been strong pillars all through these years in our lives. To the women who work during the day and who manage their home and families after coming home from work. To the women who toil night and day to keep their family comfortable and to fill their kids' hungry stomachs

Fascinating article, i am astonished that this is still praticed in todays society. But i come from a totally different culture and country so i can't pretent to know all the facts. But if female infanticide continues then won't the male population out weigh the female and upset the natural balance of life??.

Hi dear readers..i have been longing to voice my views in such blogs...and here goes my ponderings over y a female is UNWANTED in our society... 1. how much ever we say that money is immaterial and values are important, a son is deemed important because he gives the money, during the sagging final years. Assuming a situation where the son is not in a position to earn, then will the aged parents still dote over the son? Nowadays even women work, do not they contribute to the family's earnings?! 2. The long standing belief that only a man's parents will age and need care and support and that a woman's parents will remain young and can fend for themselves, even at 70 or 80 yrs. of age!! The bone of contention in almost all the debates in tv channels...'saas or bahu' types is that the bahu chased the aged parents-in-law, and that there is an increase in old age homes...fine, agreed, but what were the aged parents WHO HAD ONLY DAUGHTERS DOING. Arethey not cooking and taking care of themselves all these years...what happened to our values which never spake for those parents. I do not mean to say that the man's parents should be left in lurch...in other words, the daughters should also take care of the aged parents. 3. Parents r bearing many children in the belief that sons will be born...instead of planning out this way, y not plan for 1 or 2 babies, bring them up well and also save for the lean years. so that no one is dependent on anyone and there is no strain. 4. Finally the dowry practice. More than that, celebrating the marriage with great pomp. The lakhs of amount spent on the wedding by the girls father can be deposited in a bank on her name, so that any eventualities in her married life arises she can bank on this amount. IF all these are taken care, then the famle infanticide would decrease. TO TOP IT ALL, PLEASE WOMEN, STOP SAYING TO OTHER EXPECTING MOTHERS THAT -"U WILL GET A BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY", JUST TO PLEASE THEM...THERE ARE MANY WOMEN WHO LOVE TO GIVE BIRTH TO GIRLS. GIRLS ARE INCARNATION OF MA KALLI AND LAKSHMI.

I beleive the government should bring a rule that not only male but female have equal rights on the parents.Now in this 21st century women are educated and are also earning.So both men and women have rights to take care of the parents.So atleast the parents will start thinking that girls are not a burden and will takecare of them in time of their needs.Then the society will completely change.Even males know that their sisters are equall as they are and also they will respect their wife's

very systematically this article distinguished bet.mentality of rural people and urban dwellers. i at this stage cannot blame any particular person,it is the society at large who is responsible. from the legal pt of view,strict liability to be fixed and enhance punishment to be imposed on the wrong doers and the chinese law of 1 child to be adopted.

i think the practice of infanticide is absolutely disgusting and CAN be stopped. the only problem is that the people of india are too used to beraking the rules to abide by them. the law has to be made SO STRONG that noone will have the guts to even think of breaking it.

I am sorry to say that doctors are one of the main culprits in female infanticide.I bieng a doctor have seen it very closely in morena.Most of the nursing homes are flourishing due to this business Medical profession is considered a respectable job.but just for few rupees they are defaming the profession.If any steps are taken they hike their prices saying that MTP's are not allowed

The problem, we dont respect our own people. Rich and affluent people disrespect poor and unfortunate citizens. Hence all social evils rampant in our Indian society. This finally reflects on women. Dowry evils, rapes, eve teasing and disrespecting women have become routine. So, many poor and middle class people started to kill their own new born girl children by heineous methods. Now, the society should change and our thinking should change, we have to build new society.

Thtat aarticle shoulad be an eye opener for a few people . Firstly women , secondluy those affiliated to NGOs such as the UN. I wonder wheteher the human rights council has done any thing about this issue . If nothing has been done -IT IS HIGH TIME! I am not a feminist ...... but hoe great is the role of a woman in a society like India. While men may be concidered in traditional terms to have the - Decision makers and bread winners , women are the ones who nurture and take care of the home . TO ALL MEN OUT THERE ........You have a home /food on your plate , a warm soft voice to console your problems -in shot all the non- naterialistic comforts of life because of the women in your life...... your mothers who gave birth to you ...... your sisters who will love you despite you being the most ungreatful wretch on eart and your wives who have accepted you for a lifetime as their own . Im all cases of humen life , it is the woman who sacrifices and suffers so PLEASE DON#T MAKE IT WORSE!
