Sex Determination in India

Exploring the societal values and consequences of sex determination in India

Abstract

The quandary about the values at a societal degree with respect to elimination of females is difficult. Female infanticide is regarded as barbaric and inhuman today, and any ‘right thinking’ man or woman would be against it. With liberalized views on abortion, thanks in part because of the government propaganda and advertising, selective abortion does no longer appear to hold with it the horror associated with lady infanticide. With intercourse-preselection, the problem of violence in opposition to ladies appears even more remote, and girl hatred turns into extra sanitized and perfect. within the context of the “small own family norm”, and more center magnificence households choosing only two or one baby, sex-dedication to ‘plan’ the family simply right, turns into an brought justification. eliminating women now profits the reputation of a country wide responsibility.
