Re: Gory tale of Indian Punjab's lost girls
If it doesn't prove anything then you shouldn't be posting it. If you wanted to prove that it happens in Pakistan then you should've quoted some news item showing its occurrence/frequency to score some point. We should be condemning such acts rather than pointing fingers all over the place (however inaccurate that be). Anyway, please continue the rant I am out.
Re: Gory tale of Indian Punjab's lost girls
Captaan Sahab aap baat nahi samjhey, instead of foeticide in India what happened, results are negligible. Thats what I was trying to said.

**India ‘loses 10m female births’ **
More than 10m female births in India may have been lost to abortion and sex selection in the past 20 years, according to medical research. Researchers in India and Canada for the Lancet journal said prenatal selection and selective abortion was causing the loss of 500,000 girls a year. Their research was based on a national survey of 1.1m households in 1998. The researchers said the “girl deficit” was more common among educated women but did not vary according to religion. The unusual gender balance in India has been known about for some time. In most countries, women slightly outnumber men, but separate research for the year 2001 showed that for every 1,000 male babies born in India, there were just 933 girls.
Ultrasound
The latest research is by Prabhat Jha of St Michael’s Hospital at the University of Toronto, Canada, and Rajesh Kumar of the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Research in Chandigarh, India. They found that there was an increasing tendency to select boys when previous children had been girls. The sex ratio is so skewed in some states, men cannot find brides In cases where the preceding child was a girl, the ratio of girls to boys in the next birth was 759 to 1,000. This fell even further when the two preceding children were both girls. Then the ratio for the third child born was just 719 girls to 1,000 boys. However, for a child following the birth of a male child, the gender ratio was roughly equal. Prabhat Jha said conservative estimates in the research suggested half a million girls were being lost each year. “If this practice has been common for most of the past two decades since access to ultrasound became widespread, then a figure of 10m missing female births would not be unreasonable.”
‘Shameful’
Sex selective abortions have been banned in India for more than a decade. Experts in India say female foeticide is mostly linked to socio-economic factors. It is an idea that many say carries over from the time India was a predominantly agrarian society where boys were considered an extra pair of hands on the farm. The girl child has traditionally been considered inferior and a liability - a bride’s dowry can cripple a poor family financially. The BBC’s Jill McGivering says the problem is complicated by advances in technology. Ultrasound machines must be officially registered but many are now so light and portable, they are hard to monitor. Although doctors in India must not tell couples the sex of a foetus, in practice, some just use coded signals instead, our correspondent says. Last year the well-known religious leader and social activist, Swami Agnivesh, began a campaign across five northern and western states against female foeticide. “There’s no other form of violence that’s more painful, more abhorrent, more shameful,” he said.
Re: Gory tale of Indian Punjab's lost girls
atleast we are acknowledging it and corrective and strict measures are taking place. Reza do as a favour and please post those measures too please..:)
Re: Gory tale of Indian Punjab's lost girls
Millions of murdered females is a genocide - probably the worst in the world, but the Indian people are largely complicit in these crimes.

Re: Gory tale of Indian Punjab's lost girls
In India it gets reported, thats the only difference. See the stats and you will understand.
But I do believe that India should do better.
Re: Gory tale of Indian Punjab's lost girls
All genocides get reported - usually after the fact.
Millions of girls have been murdered in India, but how many of them were reported missing in the first place?

I am not quite sure what you think you are achieving by flogging a dead horse. The fact has already been accepted by all Indians on this thread, and we feel that more needs to be done. A lot of steps are being taken by Govt. and mainly by NGOs, but social awareness/education needs to be there.
If you spent the same amount of time worrying about the condition girls/women in Pak as you spend worrying about their condition in India, I am sure things would definitely improve in Pak.
Hindustan’s sick female baby killing culture (10 million killed in two decades)
Grisly find draws attention to Indian foetus killings
*By Palash Kumar
*Manual labourer Gulzar Singh is haunted by the day he exhumed baby foetuses from a pit outside an abortion clinic in one of the grisliest chapters in India’s fight against female feticide.
“Inside the well I found bones. Small ones. There were some baby skulls too,” recalled Singh with a shudder. …
Over the next few hours, he removed the remains of scores of unborn babies from two deep pits, an experience he says he will never forget and one which leaves him struggling for breath at night and unable to enjoy the company of friends.
Singh says he removed the flesh and bones of around 300 aborted babies. The authorities say it was somewhere between 20 to 100 foetuses and they assume that all were female although gender tests results will only be ready next month.
The clinic was run by an untrained, unqualified retired soldier and his wife.
“He used to induce abortions, put the foetus in acid and also break the bones so as to destroy the evidence,” said Mohi…
According to a study published in the British medical journal, the Lancet, about 10 million female foetuses may have been aborted in India over the last 20 years. …
When is the mainstream Hindustani society going become civilised?

Now this is disgusting man, how many times u will repeat the same topic in different ways.

^ Maybe he just gets a kick out of reporting 'sadistic' stuff. Disgusting !
Re: Gory tale of Indian Punjab’s lost girls/female foeticide (merged)
There seems to be a lot of support for these horrible and genocidal practices against females.
