Excuse me?

No i am not Christian.

Just because I don't buy into the "Indians/Hindus are evil" theory, that does not give you the right to assume which religion I belong to (Islam).

Get your facts straight before you start assuming things, ok?

@Fret Wizard

Care to explain how Muslims and Pakistani’s equate to the disgusting, filthy behaviour in the aforementioned story?

Pakistanis aren’t perfect examples when it comes to treating their women properly. Infanticide may not be common there but sick attitudes [just one of the ways they do not treat women properly] like "WHY did we have a girl!! " is still very prevalent.

Re: The ‘curse’ of having a girl in India

many people seem to be delusional about female infanticide in Pakistan. the gender ratio for both infants and children is identical between India and Pakistan.

please see: “Infanticide the most ignored crime in Pakistan”
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_5-4-2003_pg7_21

according to the Edhi foundation, almost every infanticide case in pakistan involves a girl child, with a frequency rate of almost 95%.

I rest my case.

… but sick attitudes [just one of the ways they do not treat women properly] like "WHY did we have a girl!! " is still very prevalent.

My question wasn’t related to the treatment of women. It’s related to the topic of this thread, which the murder of female infants.

And you don’t see the link between that backwards attitude and infanticide

Here is the challange for people like you once for all.

If the verse or reference I quoted is wrong, tell us what is right, IF you have read your holy books. How about that. It is not about picking up bad things on some "Anti-Hindu" websites, it is about what it says so explicitly......

neither did i confirm nor did i deny this is not mentioned. I did go through the internet. But still i didn't find any such from genuine source. It may have been mentioned. I accept that high possibility.

I know I know. I have been to this website since long. I know you are NOT Christian Thora chaer raha tha main

I just wanted you to say something proudly about Islam since you said “Muslims and Pakistanis are as bad” in one of your posts. I wanted you to include yourself in them while saying bad about “All Muslims”

Re: The ‘curse’ of having a girl in India

Lahore 981 please provide the link for your sayings of the Veda. I too can type such things and write ‘Quran, Sura abc, aya xyz’. Also the sex ratio in Pakistan is the same as in India so this practice must happen in Pakistan on the same scale too.

Re: The ‘curse’ of having a girl in India

Atharva veda is a book of prayers in Sanskrit, the book 6 that you say has that saying Lahore 981 contains prayers to dispell different kinds of discords and control ones behaviour.

No, I don’t. Infanticide is murder. How “women are treated” is very vague.

This is one thing outrageous.

You ask me for a link. I have it. Why don’t you tell us what is right if what I posted about **Atharva Veda.6.2.3 **is wrong.

Don’t talk about Quran like a stupid. If you’d write an imaginary verse from Quran, I’ll tell you what is the correct verse and where in Quran it is located and what does it mean and how your reference is wrong. Because we Muslims read Quran and we know what is written in it. Even to type “xyz” about Quran, you need to know it a bit, don’t you ???

So come on, correct me if you know what does it mean.

@ssingh

So that means the religious scriptures don’t mean anything to you?

It means a lot…“It seems” in our scriptures, they mention men having more than one wife. In some areas they scriptures are supposed to mention untouchability also. should it mean that I should follow these things in this age(any age for that matter)?. definitely not. Ofcourse, vedas, upanishads (there are 118 of them-of which 10 are given priority) and bhagavad geetha and also puranas, i certainly would like to read and learn.

We should be intelligent enough to realize that these verses from vedas can't be from God.
So it means Vedas got currupted by men.
