India is booming economically but is India Blooming with respect to Girls?
In 1900s when the print media booming the male mentality is 'chaste women never had their photographs published in papers'
In 2011 census - females per thousand male is 940 - also called as sex ratio
Sex Ratio of India - Sex Ratio is a term used to define number of females per 1000 males. It's a great source to find the equality of males and females in a society at a given period of time.
Sex Ratio was okay till the time of Independence (1947), thereafter it has declined regularly. New century has showed up some improvements.
It has gone up from 927 in 1991 census to 933 in 2001 census of India. Some states/Unions, like Kerala (1084) & Pondicherry (1038) has gone up but so called developed states like Haryana (877) specially Chandigarh(818), Dadra and Nagar Haveli (775), Daman and Diu (618), Punjab (893) have gone down
Surprisingly Rural (946) areas are beating Urban (900). Is our education and more income is ruining the human values?
How can we change the common Indian thought 'He may prove profitable, keep him, she will prove to be a loss, kill her'.
Some say why everything finally boils down to the economics? I believe economically Independent girls can change this.
Maybe the promise of quality delivery services will change the mind like free education up to graduation, a cash deposit at birth with the condition that it will be available to the child when she is 25 by which time, she will develop into an independent woman in her own right and able to use the now increased amount in a way that she sees most befit.
