India Has Killed 10 Million Girls in 20 Years
Girls Are Considered a Burden in Sections of Indian
Society

Dec. 15, 2006 — Ten million girls have been killed by
their parents in India in the past 20 years, either
before they were born or immediately after, a
government minister said on Thursday, describing it as
a "national crisis".

A UNICEF report released this week said 7,000 fewer
girls are born in the country every day than the
global average would suggest, largely because female
foetuses are aborted after sex determination tests but
also through murder of new borns.

"It's shocking figures and we are in a national crisis
if you ask me," Minister for Women and Child
Development Renuka Chowdhury told Reuters.

Girls are seen as liabilities by many Indians,
especially because of the banned but rampant practice
of dowry, where the bride's parents pay cash and goods
to the groom's family.

Men are also seen as bread-winners while social
prejudices deny women opportunities for education and
jobs.

"Today, we have the odd distinction of having lost 10
million girl children in the past 20 years," Chowdhury
told a seminar in Delhi University.

"Who has killed these girl children? Their own
parents." In some states, the minister said, newborn
girls have been killed by pouring sand or tobacco
juice into their nostrils.

"The minute the child is born and she opens her mouth
to cry, they put sand into her mouth and her nostrils
so she chokes and dies," Chowdhury said, referring to
cases in the western desert state of Rajasthan.

"They bury infants into pots alive and bury the pots.
They put tobacco into her mouth. They hang them upside
down like a bunch of flowers to dry," she said.

"We have more passion for tigers of this country. We
have people fighting for stray dogs on the road. But
you have a whole society that ruthlessly hunts down
girl children."

According to the 2001 census, the national sex ratio
was 933 girls to 1,000 boys, while in the
worst-affected northern state of Punjab, it was 798
girls to 1,000 boys.

The ratio has fallen since 1991, due to the
availability of ultrasound sex-determination tests.

Although these are illegal they are still widely
available and often lead to abortion of girl foetuses.

Chowdhury said the fall in the number of females had
cost one percent of India's GDP and created shortages
of girls in some states like Haryana, where in one
case four brothers had to marry one woman.

Economic empowerment of women was key to change, she
said. "Even today when you go to a temple, you are
blessed with 'May you have many sons'," she said.

"The minute you empower them to earn more or equal (to
men), social prejudices vanish."

The practice of killing the girl child is more
prevalent among the educated, including in upmarket
districts of New Delhi, making it more challenging for
the government, the minister said.

"How do we tell educated people that you must not do
it? And these are people who would visit all the
female deities and pray for strength but don't
hesitate to kill a girl child," she said.

I will never believe "They hang them upside down like a bunch of flowers to dry". There is the criminal laws which will send the parents in the cold places for at least 15 years or may be more. The new borns are protected by laws, you can't do what do you wish with them, even if its your child. This article need a serious check up.

Erm i think you'll find it's all true - India is now leading not only in HIV but also in infantcide. The country is in decline and the sooner they realise the better. They have a population of over a billion, yet they do nothng to control it. (not including the infantcide as a method)

I hope if anything like a tsumani should occur in india, it should wipe out all those responsible for killing those 10 million poor souls!!!

Terrible news. These people will murder their own daughters in the name of 'pride' or 'honour'.

Nah, tsunamis are too indiscriminate and might actually wipe out more innocent souls. Alien abduction on the other hand...

If they had correct laws to protect the children, they wouldnt be allowing the new borns to be killed. It does happen there, you'd be surprised.

May i know,is there any specific tribes doing that cruel thing?

This killing girls traditions had been practised widely by the Jahiliyah Arab,maybe in the hole Hejaz land.Alhamdulillah our beloved prophet Muhammad(PBUH)was born amongst them then dismantled the cruel tradition by spread the Islamic teachings.

elo

manz remembers watching a documentary bout this, and i think they said figures like every 4 mins a girl "disappears" due to gender discrimination practices in india

like ive heard they prefer boys to gals so they kill the girls, but erm, if there no girls then how will boys be born

and erm erm erm preferrin boys to gals .... GAY

i think its jus a backward thought innit, like they think boys can work and bring wealth, and they dont think girls can do that, so they jus bury them alive or kill them! it reminds moi of surah takwir ....
