Female Infanticide

India is among the countries belonging to the less-developed category. I think this categorization is present because there are countries in which to compare the nations of the world between each other. Such comparisons are basically on economy, national produce, and education. But I think a more apt categorization aspect would be insight and morality, in which some developed countries would be dragged to the lower depths of the list.

But I think India, even in terms of insight and morality, would not even be allowed to take a damn step up the pyramid! You see, I have been reading and hearing of news that female infanticide is a practice well entertained in Indian customs. Plus, the rates are going up even in this modern digital age of computers, fast information dissemination, and mobile communications!

I think these dumb-assed parents see female children more of a problem than a blessing. One thing that adds up to this delusion is the damn fact that they would be spending a lot on female children once wedding day comes. Remember the Indian concept of dowry? Yes, plus the damn fact that these people see female daughters requiring more protection than male children. What is more downright shocking is that there has been an actual increase in mobile clinics offering prenatal information on the sexuality of the unborn children of people who live in remote villages in India. I think this is because, in these areas, male preference runs high. I don't know if it's because of their education, the lack of it, or misinformation which made these people think such ways and means are virtually acceptable to the rest of humanity!
