7 millions of new born girls are left out, all alone, in the bushes of rural India.
Yes read well! 7 millions! and maybe even more?!!
Why on earth a country (and people) that is, desperately, positioning itself as one of the new economic power, - and, purportedly, member of the so-called BRICS countries- still does not tacle this serious, segregationist, gender-hatred, medieval tradition?
Why is having a boy is still considered a gold mine? Why kill a future Indira Gandhi?
The Times of India:
"Even as the world celebrated the Women's Day on Tuesday, a newborn girl child died after being abandoned by her parents. The girl was mercilessly thrown into bushes soon after the birth. She was found by a couple who got her admitted to hospital where she died after battling with life for almost 12 hours.
Kumar heard a child crying while he was on his routine morning walk at Shubham Vihar colony near Munshipulia. He found an innocent baby with umbilical cord lying amid thorny bushes without even a piece of cloth. Her body was full of insect bites. Kumar and his wife rushed the baby to Ram Manohar Lohiya Hospital where she was diagnosed with `hypothermia' (low temperature) and breathing problem. She was put in the intensive care unit (ICU) but despite best efforts of doctors, the baby did not survive for long."
The end was tragic.
Abandoning newborn girl child is becoming usual in India; if they are not abandoned in the bushes, they are -if lucky- abandoned in orphan houses.
Why Indians, Government and people, this "emerging" economic power does not act upon this horrible, segregationist plague?
