The only way to wipe out this evil is to bring Christianity and Jesus Christ to these people.
The Hindu religion and its legalistic customs cause the death of little Indian girls.

Get rid of dowries and half your battle is solved. Get rid of the belief in reincarnation and you solve the other half.

female infanticide is not because of any religion.The major reason is illiteracy among the people and dowry is a major factor.No religion advocates dowry but somehow this practice is followed(dont know which nutcase started it)by many in india.But the literacy rate is going up and in the near future this practice will be stopped..And believe me the educated class in india does not follow this practice.

And actually dowry system is illegal and is punishable in india.(there have been cases where people asking for dowry if found guilty have been given 6 years of imprisonment).But the reason why dowry system still continues is because people dont complain and as long as people dont complain nothing can be done.


i totally agree with u regarding the eradication of dowry system.But it is for the people to understand and believe in the judiciary(by complaining against those asking for dowry).

Reincarnation has nothing to do with female infanticide.

once the dowry system stops female infanticide will stop too.

And by the way its not only the hindus but also people following other religions practice it(including christians).
