Aamir provides a balanced perspective on issue of female foeticide in India. It is an evil born in 1970's through government initiative to curb population menace and picked up in 1990's with introduction of ultrasound. And now we have crores of girl infants perish through inhuman behavior across society sections. Nawanshahr's  former Deputy Commissioner  Krishna Kumar could clean a district and reverse the male-female ratio. Why did we and government stop and could not support to help him build a framework through which we could curtail and eradicate evils like female foeticide and others.  Women are still considered objects of desire, only there to fulfill certain needs of male dominated society. Some have had to undergo abortion multiple times. Why cant we create a law that would equal this to murder and hang the perpetrators? It is amazing that noble professionals from medical field including lady doctors have made killing a foetus a business, a mean...

One such family has two elders who are both teachers employed by state government for many years and who have loads of sons and daughters. When she heard the news about the birth of a girl child she congratulated the father but questioned the mother with "Check नहीं कराया क्या? " A disgusting question. Why did not you get it checked? Roughly translated it meant "Why did not you kill the child before she was born?" H...
