In rural areas where people do not have access to sex determination techniques or other medical facilities female infanticide is shockingly common.since they dont have any option to know about the sex of the baby during conception they wait for the baby to take birth .and if the born child is a boy celebrations hit the house but if a female child is born ,they kill the baby using various methods as they desire only for male child and consider girl child as a curse and burden.they kill the baby by drowning the baby in ponds and sometimes even in bucket filled with milk,or they starving the baby,burying her alive,giving her poison ,dumping her in garbage bin,strangling the baby,leaving her outside overnight so she dies of exposure.
saddest part of this whole scene is that female infanticide is not considered big crime.and generally people dont get punished after killing their newborn baby.Only a few get convicted that too only if the case gets hype or publicity.Its really shame for a country like India where women has been given the name of goddess.female inafnticide in the land of goddesses is very shameful and people dont get convicted as it is hardly recognised as a crime is a shame on the judiciary and system.Who should be held responsible for this.Who should take the charge of saving the little newborn girl child who cannot speak,who cannot shout,who cannot plea for help....what all she can do is cry on her destiny which was written not by the ultimate almighty creator but by her own parents....she can only cry seeing the handicapped people all around her .......
