India doesn't need a sexual revolution

India doesn’t need a sexual revolution. And patriotism isn’t about supporting the Indian cricket team. We just need to stop pouring acid on unformed foetuses of baby girls and bashing their bones to smithereens to hide the evidence.

Did you know that according to a recent survey female foeticide was highest among women with university degrees?

They give them to street sweepers to be disposed of like garbage. They tell them to catch rickshaws that go by riversides and throw them into the water. The doctors tell them this.

Of course there will be a skewed sex ratio! And when there aren’t enough child girls for them to marry as brides they traffic them from other states. Yes folks! We have brides for sale in India. All you need is RS. 10,000 or $222. So if I go Sunday shopping twice, I could buy a bride. And so could you!

I want to rattle the bars of those caged minds and scream! Whatever happened to our ‘lovely Indian culture’? Are we all insane?

People turn blind eyes to this. WE INDIANS turn blind eyes to this. Because if it doesn’t affect you, why should you be bothered right? Why should you be bothered at all?

Maybe if you have ten minutes to spare, you’ll find the time to educate yourself about this: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/129103.html (Guardian News & media, published '07).

But wait, don’t you have that cricket match to worry about? Isn’t that the most important thing in the world? So what if in some state of your country they’re mashing a baby foetus' bones (some of them developed enough to be legally called babies by Indian law)? As for me, I don’t give a damn about the cricket match. And I’m angry as hell.

I'm not even going to apologize for my harsh tone. Like I said, I’m angry as hell. And if you're not after reading that article, then you're just plain weird. Oh but wait, maybe you're just turning a blind eye. I'm so sorry...didn't mean to make you see. Carry on. Turn that blind eye.

  1. You are right madam, It is unfortunate that this is still happening in India. I would like to question those people who fight for gender equality, where are they when these types of feticide takes place? Are they also involved in these activities? We people of like mentality should unite against this sin and take a stringent action against those people. Doctors are in a process of minting money and they care a damn. People who are involved in female feticide should be hacked to death.
