Female Infanticide

Name: Kalpana Sarang
Country: India
Govt. has to punish those parents very strictly... Nobody has rights to kill others. When a infant is born, it doesn't have any bad thoughts r it isn't causing any ill to others. It only belives the person whoever carrying or feeding her. How hard hearted ppl r dey. after seeing the innocent face, how they get guts to kill the infant. If they r not punished severly they will not stop doing this. God blessed me with a beautiful and intelligent baby girl as per my prayer, who is 10 months old now. There is no word to express the feeling I had when I saw her first in the Operation Theatre. I love her so much. I want to comfort her with everything and bring her like a princess.

THE point that everyone is missing is that the other biggest female infant killing country is the ONE CHILD CHINA!!! They too want male childrena and fined for more than one child, So if you want a Boy kill the girl! One child limits do not stop INFANTICIDE! How about making it worth it to give up the girl permanetly and legally. Make midwives who allow or do infanticide legally responsible. sex selection abortions are unfortunate But I am much more concerned about the ones that are murdered. STOPFEM ALEINFANTICIDE @groups.facebook.com femaleinfanticide@gmail.com PLEASE Go read about one poor little girl who was murdered so gruesomely by her mother with Oreander sap ! Symptoms of oleander poisoning include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, vision disturbances, blurred vision and low blood pressure. The nervous system is also affected, which can cause dizziness, disorientation, headaches and lethargy. In some cases the poison shows up on the skin in the form of hives and rashes. The most common symptom of oleander poisoning affects the heart. A disturbance in the heart rhythm, heart palpitations and and increased heart rate all have the potentials to cause cardiac arrest. Join me in looking for a way to address these murders. I am a grandmother, with my grandchild nearly grown. But I want to do something about this problem. http://www.gendercide.or g/case_infanti cide.html

i am half indian, but was born in canada and have lived here throughout my entire life. i would always hear about how awful some traditions were in india, such as the dowry system and in particular female infanticide. to be honest, i was shocked (in a good way) but also very relieved to see that not all indian people think that killing innocent babies because they are girls is right. and besides, if everyone had boys instead of girls, there would be some major competition for finding a wife and having kids. women are not objects, or the slaves of men. we are intelligent, kind and strong. thank you for enlightening me with your article. meera: how dare you say to increase female infanticide? that's simply disgusting. while i agree with you in the sense that society is very male dominated, we as women have to fight to make it fair! don't give up!

well i feel very sad about this problem . as the girls are not given the rights to live , they are considered burden on parents. this problem is mainly due to less education and less exposure of the backward areas. and this problem cant be solved if the mantality of people will not change and some what education and understanding can also help to solve. 'girls are precious , understand them'

i am sad that india girl have this karma in thier life. chanting the phrase nam-myoho-renge-kyo as a prayer can change our karma. buddhism is a practical philosophy aimed at awakening people to the limitless potential and value of their own lives. practicing buddhism brings about a positive transformation in the depths of an individual's life, transforming fear into courage, deluded impulses into wisdom and egotism into compassion. buddhism teaches that a universal law (dharma) underlies everything in the universe. this is the very essence of life. one could also think of it as the fundamental rhythm of life and the universe. nichiren identified this law or essence as nam-myoho-renge-kyo. he taught that by correctly carrying out the practice of buddhism anyone is able to bring their individual life into harmony with the greater life of the universe. the result of this is that one is able to experience greater wisdom, courage, life force and compassion (the qualities of this life-essence). this, practically, is what it means to manifest buddhahood, or an enlightened life condition. must have big vitory in all life.

female infaticide is not possible without medical expertise. you need a â€˜monsterâ€™ in medical profession to tell you the gender of baby. and, they are in majority in this profession. if sencere efforts are made to nail the 'doctors', wounderful results could be obtained. sadly, law enforcing machanism is busy in making money of this grand business. it is estimated that near about 20 millions baby girls have been aborted during last two dacades. i live in punajb, where rate of female fotecide is highest in india. in our district, thanks to some awakened citizens, some doctors have been booked under pndt, 315 cr.p.c and mtp act. conviction is much likely in some cases. not surprisingly, rate of femal-foeticide has come down dramatically.

encouring female infanticde is stupid. the very fact that it is the mothers who are often responsible for the killing of their female child is absurd! being women themselves, i dont understand how they can do something like that. what id they wer made to suffer the same fate? the very fact that they wer'nt should be reason enough to make sure their children are'nt victims to it. the problem with these people is that they are not education. an education can solve all india's problems.

it is very stupid of people to do such a thing. nowadays people in the cities believe that girls are their walking stick in the old age instead of sons. sons now do not even bother about if their parents are alive or dead. having dauthers is a happiness and lightness to your heart. now girls are no longer behind boys they are much ahead of them in many fields. we indians also pray to lakshmi and when lakshmi(girl chid)comes home we regrect her how foolish.

hi dear readers..i have been longing to voice my views in such blogs...and here goes my ponderings over y a female is unwanted in our society... 1. how much ever we say that money is immaterial and values are important, a son is deemed important because he gives the money, during the sagging final years. assuming a situation where the son is not in a position to earn, then will the aged parents still dote over the son? nowadays even women work, do not they contribute to the family's earnings?! 2. the long standing belief that only a man's parents will age and need care and support and that a woman's parents will remain young and can fend for themselves, even at 70 or 80 yrs. of age!! the bone of contention in almost all the debates in tv channels...'saas or bahu' types is that the bahu chased the aged parents-in-law, and that there is an increase in old age homes...fine, agreed, but what were the aged parents who had only daughters doing. arethey not cooking and taking care of themselves all these years...what happened to our values which never spake for those parents. i do not mean to say that the man's parents should be left in lurch...in other words, the daughters should also take care of the aged parents. 3. parents r bearing many children in the belief that sons will be born...instead of planning out this way, y not plan for 1 or 2 babies, bring them up well and also save for the lean years. so that no one is dependent on anyone and there is no strain. 4. finally the dowry practice. more than that, celebrating the marriage with great pomp. the lakhs of amount spent on the wedding by the girls father can be deposited in a bank on her name, so that any eventualities in her married life arises she can bank on this amount. if all these are taken care, then the famle infanticide would decrease. to top it all, please women, stop saying to other expecting mothers that -"u will get a beautiful baby boy", just to please them...there are many women who love to give birth to girls. girls are incarnation of ma kalli and lakshmi.

i beleive the government should bring a rule that not only male but female have equal rights on the parents.now in this 21st century women are educated and are also earning.so both men and women have rights to take care of the parents.so atleast the parents will start thinking that girls are not a burden and will takecare of them in time of their needs.then the society will completely change.even males know that their sisters are equall as they are and also they will respect their wife's

very systematically this article distinguished bet.mentality of rural people and urban dwellers. i at this stage cannot blame any particular person,it is the society at large who is responsible. from the legal pt of view,strict liability to be fixed and enhance punishment to be imposed on the wrong doers and the chinese law of 1 child to be adopted.

i think the practice of infanticide is absolutely disgusting and can be stopped. the only problem is that the people of india are too used to beraking the rules to abide by them. the law has to be made so strong that noone will have the guts to even think of breaking it.

the problem, we dont respect our own people. rich and affluent people disrespect poor and unfortunate citizens. hence all social evils rampant in our indian society. this finally reflects on women. dowry evils, rapes, eve teasing and disrespecting women have become routine. so, many poor and middle class people started to kill their own new born girl children by heineous methods. now, the society should change and our thinking should change, we have to build new society.

thtat aarticle shoulad be an eye opener for a few people . firstly women , secondluy those affiliated to ngos such as the un. i wonder wheteher the human rights council has done any thing about this issue . if nothing has been done -it is high time! i am not a feminist ...... but hoe great is the role of a woman in a society like india. while men may be concidered in traditional terms to have the - decision makers and bread winners , women are the ones who nurture and take care of the home . to all men out there ........you have a home /food on your plate , a warm soft voice to console your problems -in shot all the non- naterialistic comforts of life because of the women in your life...... your mothers who gave birth to you ...... your sisters who will love you despite you being the most ungreatful wretch on eart and your wives who have accepted you for a lifetime as their own . im all cases of humen life , it is the woman who sacrifices and suffers so please don#t make it worse!
