In India baby girls are being disproportionately aborted or neglected and left to die. In one area in the state of Punjab, there are only 300 girls for every 1,000 boys among high cast families, the report claims. The vice president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI) reacts to the situation by discussing about what the Church is doing and about his hopes for the future
Findings from areas across five states in north and north-west India reveal that the asymmetrical sex ratio between girls and boys has not only worsened but is accelerating compared to the last national census in 2001. In many rural areas tradition dictates preference for sons, who work in the fields, over daughters.
The report shows that girls are less likely to survive in areas with more limited access to public health services and modern ultrasound technology. However, the deliberate neglect of girls, including allowing the umbilical cord to become infected, is used as a way to dispose of unwanted daughters.
The rejection of daughters rises proportionately to the number of offspring. In all areas surveyed, there is a decline in the proportion of girls among second-born children; even more so among third-born, a sign of frequent selective abortion, often with the illegal but well-paid assistance of doctors and nurses.
It is estimated that around 500,000 female foetuses are currently being aborted every year; 10 million may have been aborted in India over the last two decades.
CBCI Vice President Card Oswald Gracias told AsiaNews that “in India the Catholic Church has been striving selflessly to promote life from conception to its natural end, through our medical centres and nursing homes. In the most rural and remote areas of our country, the Church has been defending life irrespective of caste and creed.” ...

and our country’s businesses are outsourcing jobs to this third world heap.
India is becoming a hyper-masculine society and will evolve into an expansionist warlike state. China is already well on the way to such a condition. Ultimately the two states will likely go to war with each other.Too many young men for too few women stores up an explosive energy that is historically let off in war.If there is no external war then the state will be shattered from within by civil war.
They go to war with each other or they ally and explode outward.
The 20th Century will pale in comparison to the Bloodshed that is coming in the 21st.
What happens to China and India, when they each have about 50 million “excess” males with no chance of ever finding a wife?
It is a rather tricky situation...
Let me show you another side of the multidimensional object.
All these ‘Excess’ males have parents.. and many cases these happen to be only child in case of Chinese parents. I am sure Indians love their children too...when most of the families have only a few...They are not gonna send their coveted sons to some godforsaken war. They are gonna hide them in basements and hope that no one knows....
Also these ‘excess’ males may have a very low chance of finding a wife...but there is always hope....may be SOB would win a lottery tomorrow and then definitely get a wife...
There is also polyandry and not to forget them boys may just start buggering each other...
This China-India war hypothesis is a very far fetched pipe dream...
They believe in equality for some women.
