                         As I was going through various News Portals this morning I was shocked to see an article on Dainik Bhaskar's website where a father brutally killed his 22 Day old infant daughter. This is not the first case. In India this has been happening here since ages. The general perception is that mostly the psyche against female child is largely predominant in rural India where education is less which is not exactly true. The fact is the middle- class or Upper Middle Class urban population gets equally distressed, when a female child is born but little of intellect left in them saves the innocent souls from seeing the worst.

                        If you can't  believe me when you visit a family expecting a child just try to say, " I wish a girl child is born". You will get to see a weird smile at least if not a mouthful about how big burden a girl child is bla and bla from the Family members. Only this much of reaction is enough to vindicate my point. The entire Indian psyche is against the birth of a female child whether it is North, South, East or West. Not only that even after the birth of the female child the family members can be seen cribbing, ' I wish our first child was a boy'. You can even get to listen some interesting comparison like 'We are unfortunate to have 2 baby girls see Mr and Mrs XYZ have 2 baby boys'.. What is the mistake of the innocent soul still hard to understand?

                        The Pseudo Feminist society spent some crocodile tears when Aamir Khan hosted show discussed this topic on one of its episode. But the people lost interest gradually as these cases don't have much masala within themselves like a rape, molestation or dowry cases have. Even the Electronic media doesn't gives less coverage to these cases as it will not help them gain TRPs as a Madhumita Shukla or Fiza case can give. Even if such cases are coverred by the Print media we just ignore it after reading the heading and the focus again shifts to the Sports Page or to the Life Style Page. Its just another story for the same hypocrite youth generation who gets easily offended by Shiv Sena when they oppose Valentines Day or when Ram Sena does the so called moral Policing. Sheer logic of convenience isn't it ? If the activities of these organisations is an attack on an individual's Independence then female infanticide is an attack on right to survive of an individual. If molestation of women is heinous crime for Pseudo Feminists then female infanticide is a cold blooded murder of an innocent soul which is nothing more than a sin at least for me ? I have hardly in fact never seen any such Facebook status updates , Twitter tweets or blogs written on this issue. Are the social networking users of this country so insensitive or they are just interested in these masala stuffs.?

                   Sex Determination Tests has been banned by the Government Of India. But since we Indians posses a great knack of abusing the laws. This case is no exception. There are illegal sonography Centres in every city and town who still do these tests and abortions and get themselves involved in this sin leaving a great dark spot on the great profession of doctors. But I still believe the ultimate culprits are the parents. From socio- economically backward UP and Bihar to heavenly rated state for women Mahashtra everywhere female infanticide is being practised more or less. To completely eradicate this problem we should try to change psyche about a female child because as per Hindu Mythology a female child is considered as an avatar of goddess Lakshmi. The female Infanticide Act should be ammended. This crime should be treated as rarest of rare manner under Article 302. Those doctors doing Gender Determination sonography tests or abortions should decline themselves from committing such sins.

                   Before I conclude I just, hope, believe and pray after this blog people will show the same amount of grief against female infanticide which they show during the other heinous crimes against women.
