3. Why This discussion?
 India has made enormous progress in every sphere
.Yet Indian mentality towards a girl child hasn’t changed
much.
 India’s child sex ratio (CSR) has been steadily
declining for decades and, according to the Census of
2011, has reached 914 girls for every 1,000 boys (0 to
6 years).
 In India, there are over 200 million illiterate women and
75 million malnourished children of which 75% are girls
.

4. Female Foeticide
 It is defined as aborting a female foetus after
sex determination test.
 Ultra-sonography and Foetoscopy helps
determine abnormalities in the fetus. But it is
misused to find out sex of the fetus and
abortion is done if it is a girl.
 The practice has been followed in India for
ages, a country that once described its
women as godessess.
 For this reason, Indian women will soon get
extinct.
