There is a lot of weight placed on the sex ratio. The percentage ofnewborns that are female is known as the female birthrate. The Indian census is more than just apopulation count it also reveals interesting information on the lives of women in India. The Indianculture has taken a step back in time because of its fixation on having sons. In the sake of custom,having a child who is not a male lowers a woman's social position and often causes her psychologicalpain. The discriminatory Putravati Bhawa blessing is still often used in the vast majority of Hinducommunities. Fetal girls are being killed off by highly educated professionals who are using diagnosticequipment meant to spot issues early on in the process. Populations from rural areas are migrating tourban centers in pursuit of abortion clinics that specialize in terminating the lives of female fetuses. If agirl is born into the family, she will be abandoned and, if she survives, likely poisoned. Efforts to solvesocial and cultural issues must involve educating the public, rallying support, and taking collectiveaction.
