It isn't just sad..it is a shameful indeed..
Son preference, sex selection, female foeticide, whatever we want to call it, is a dark side of India in the 21st Century. We boast of our prowess in IT. Yet technology is being used in this country to fashion a future without women, or with very few of them. Is this progress?
I know, bringing about changes in the demand for sex determination is a long process and the key is through women’s education and empowerment including the right to property and land rights. States in the North East and in Kerala where women have these rights show a comparatively better sex ratio.
