It is these Vedic nomads who introduced this depravity into India .From a historical records, it’s known that the Nomadic Aryan had rather rigid patriarchal views when it came to female child. The Vedas were known as warriors thus wanted male children to boat their military capacity. . Indeed, so deep-rooted was the desire for male children that the Vedas prescribe numerous prayers for male offspring.
Again, a Chauvinistic interpretation of religion is not religion.
