To me the significant line of the story is:
"The male-female ratio is becoming increasing skewed across India because many parents abort female foetuses, preferring sons to daughters."
Thus using abortion to skew the natural population ratio, the same think is being done in China. I can just hear the Planned Parenthood folks indorsing it because "At least it may end up as a way for them to control their population growth."
A massive war between India and China to bleed off those hundreds of millions of unmarriageable men would control population growth, that's for sure.
