And this doesn't count what they do to the girls if they are born:

bride burnings

abandonment

female genital mutilation

I'm not sure it is better to be born in India than it is to be aborted there.

I have heard worse, poisoning or burying alive (infants).

It's almost ironic, since 1994, 4 of the 13 Miss World's have been from India.

Priyanka Chopra,Yukta Mookhey, Aishwarya Rai, and Diana Hayden.

Genital mutilation of any kind is unheard of in Hindusim(& India). Folks in India would scratch their heads mightily if you mentioned it. None would have heard the phrase.

So much for you analysis. You should lower your voice in areas you are ignorant about.

You have wrong ideas about India. Female genital mutilation is solely a Muslim "custom" and primarily in Africa. Not done in India. Maybe a few Muslims, but I've never heard of it done there. Maybe an Indian freeper can chime in here.

Bride burnings are certainly a lot more common in news stories than in India.

Many people have a lot of misconceptions about India.

I doubted your claim so I looked it up:

% of female genital mutilation/cutting among women aged 15-49,total (1999-2001), India: ~0%

IPU; India- Current status: Female genital mutilation is not prevalent in India.

Score yourself a -1 for spreading falsehoods about people different than yourself. Now I didn't mean to interrupt you; I think you were about to tell us about how they force women in India to wear burkhas and sacrifice humans on every feast of Shurik....
