And its getting worst with time ...
I was in Jaipur, and had a conversation with my sis about the female foeticide in India.
She is gaeneocologist in a rather small town near Jaipur.
Me: So jiji is it true that people really come for female foeticide and doctors really do that.
She: Yeah this practice is common, I can tell you all the big names who does that and every one knows
Me: Why doctors are not getting caught, even when sex determination a crime now.
She: Doctors does it for money. XYZ, who is big shot in the city does it, every one knows it. But nothing can be done to him. He can transfer anyone to anywhere. Who will dare to do ? and who will listen to us.
Me: siggggggggh pity
She: And who will do, who will catch him, I can tell you the IAS people who wants this. The policemen itself want it to be done. Educated doctors wants it ...who will oppose and who will catch ?
She: Its seen more in Rich and educated pple. Becuase a poor/uneducated guy would keep on doing girl till he doesnt get a boy. A rich would simply get the sex determination done and kill the foetus in the womb if it is a girl again.
And I accept all these fact, because recent census shows places like South Delhi, Malabar hills at par with villages in India.
All the study and conclusion to it lead to a very dirty picture.
First reason is obvious "Ladka Chand Ka Tukda hai", "Budhape ki lathi" and "ladki parya dhan" still exist in our mantility, our parents just cant live without "ladka", even when "ladki" is also there in the house. I dont why suddenly "ladki" become so "parayi" that they dont even want to eat food of her house.
Secondly, increasing demand of dowry (more as people are getting more educated)and evils of arrange marriages. IIT guys "creame de la cream" are available for 25 lacs, no metter how educated girly is if you offer less then that than chances of arrange marriage with this guy is bleak. IAS can range upto 1 crore. Oh my god, so, tough to have a daughter in the family, such a costly bussiness.
What can be done ?
Certain add comes on doordarshan against it ...
"During sonography, girls shouts from the womb, "papa main nahi marna chahti" and papa suddenly decides that he is doing the mistake, and he wants this kid. Decision made girl is saved."
But that addvertisement itself has a basic mistake. Why papa always decide, why mum never have a say. Still male chauvanism prevails everywhere.
Educate uneducated people and make aware educated people. ..
For me to be aware is the key ...
