Why This discussion? India has made enormous progress in every sphere

.Yet Indian mentality towards a girl child hasn’t changed much.

India’s child sex ratio (CSR) has been steadily declining for decades and, according to the Census of 2011, has reached 914 girls for every 1,000 boys (0 to 6 years).

In India, there are over 200 million illiterate women and 75 million malnourished children of which 75% are girls .

Female Foeticide It is defined as aborting a female foetus after

sex determination test.

Ultra-sonography and Foetoscopy helps

determine abnormalities in the fetus. But it is

misused to find out sex of the fetus and

abortion is done if it is a girl.

The practice has been followed in India for

ages, a country that once described its

women as godessess.

For this reason, Indian women will soon get

extinct.
