Re: India’s Real Face, Exposing The Hindutva Terrorists
In fact, such is the widespread determination to produce only sons that, since ultrasound scans became widely available in the Eighties, the number of abortions carried out on female foetuses in India has risen at a terrifying pace.
Even by the most conservative estimates, sex-selective abortion in India now accounts for the termination of some ten million female foetuses over the past 20 years. That means that each year a staggering half a million girls have been prevented from being born.
The future is frightening. Over the next five years we could see more than a million foetuses eliminated every year, says Dr Sabu George

“Most Indian men don’t have opportunities for intimate contact with women until their mid-20s,” Gupta said. “For some of them, their only exposure to women in a sexual context has been in the virtual realms of Bollywood and Internet porn sites.”
For many women in India, the result can be terrifying.
In an incident that rattled the country, dozens of young men taunted and groped two girls as they left a New Year’s Eve party at a popular five-star hotel in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. An Indian newspaper photographer called the police and recorded the melee in a shocking series of photos that ran on the front page of almost every major newspaper in India, launching a flurry of editorials.
In a televised interview, the outraged chief of India’s ministry for women and child development called for the death penalty for those convicted of rape.
There have been several high-profile assaults recently against foreign women in India.** A British freelance journalist allegedly was raped by the owner of a guesthouse where she was staying in northern India. A 28-year-old American tourist was groped by a Hindu priest while visiting a temple in the northwestern Indian state of Rajasthan.**
Several Western embassies have issued warnings on the dangers women often face in India.
