madhumitaCAP2000 said: Thats a very nice and thought provoking post Hope this breath of fresh air blows away the foul and stagnating thoughts prevalent in society. But as ironical as it may sound this practise of foetcide is gradually incrasing What with unscrupolous medical practitioners and THE CONSCIENCE OF THE GOD FEARING who resort to vegetarianism because they dont want to kill animals but dont bat an eyelid before killing their daughters in the womb.

Nike_123 said: Nice post...while we claim great deal of pride in our centuries old culture, ideas that have been instilled over the centuries will surely take a lot of time to change. Feticide is the worst practice as it proves that educated people who are aware of technology opt for these cruel methods. They should be ashamed. And so should all of us be, as a part of this wonderful civilization. I often wonder by what means do we claim so much respect from the world in terms of culture when it is ridden with dysfunctional beliefs??? May 15, '08 |

Swettgal said: Nice post..Well, as Sazzy said, the female foeticide is not just confined to rural areas, but even the urban lot , the so called educated, elite people also give preference to a male child...... This just makes me ponder whether the education or social awareness can really help to change the situation or our way of thinking? If only we can change our mindsets and realize that we can better off by shedding some unnecessary cultural baggage... May 15, '08 |

kokerofmytime said: but time is changing, and most people want girls to be born in their families, because parents feel more secure with daughters then sons, time is come people are wanting bahus as a son and not as daughter in laws. the ratio of female education is increasing day by day and they are par with men, d aught parent will proudly say yeah mera apna dhan hai May 15, '08 |

tenjade_destiny said: well, rest things have changed for better for girls when we think of bringing up, education n exposure but very true when u say that the marraige still remains the unchallenged background of these altercations too..the modernistic approach is also adopted more or less, espcially among the conservative families to meet the demands of boys.. DON'T U THINK THIS NOTION TOWARDS GIRLS IS INSPIRED BY THE FACT THAT THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE FAMILY RICHNESS IS NILL AND OFCOURSE THE MARRIAGE INVOLVES EXPENSES..SO WHICH SOCIETY IS MORE MATERIALISTIC AND MONEY DRIVEN, OURS OR WESTERN???

tenjade_destiny said: hi Avinash The title itself reveals so much of the reality attached with a daughter's birth, its being considered as stigma and all the displeasantness, insecuirty n disownership, all these are the intrinsic part of our culture and society to an extent that no more interpretation is needed here. would like to add to Sazzy's comment rather. well however appalling it might sound, but this is the fact that the educated lot is more likely to go for practices like sex detection n foeticide. yes, agree to her that choice or preference before conception of child is rather a sane and conscientius choice. i carry an element of disagreement with the second view though, i am not able to reconcile myself with this kinda system or arrangment where she needs to win acceptance of the new folks by wiping out her past or she has to give a second thot if she needs to go back to her parents. y can't the things remain as they were before her marriage in the manner, as emotions remain same.

sazzyme said: Would u be appalled if i said the termination of the female foetus is kinda confined to the 'rural,perhaps not as educated as the rest of the nation' ??!! just a thought. or maybe tis like it is going on behind closed doors amongst urbane,educated folks..i wonder. but tell me though..would u be totally against the 'sex selection of the foetus'. that happens in the western world to some extend. if you could prove that u have a female child and u wanna go for the next baby,for a hefty fee u could do whatever it takes within medical means,to have baby boy... well as for parents disowning the girl child after marriage-could it be that,the new bride might actually tend to think along the lines of her husband's family is HERS too now? coz her folks are NOT gonna entertain if she rubs her eyes and runs to mom and dads'ever now and then. again..just a thought :D awesome blog,five stars..
