Actually sex ratio is increasing better in TN, but it will take 15 years to reflect in the society. In the last 3-4 years, all my relatives, friends, known people etc had only girl childs.. Saw only one or two with boy kids.. I was like astonished.. Lots of girl kids around, and more importantly they are more loved than their mothers were loved by their parents.. Good days ahead for girls kids atleast in Southern states.
And this problem is only among uppercaste people.
Anyway Southern states are better than North at any case.
Bunts are similar to that of Nairs in Kerala .But unlike them ,Bunts will always look for the brides from their community .They are less interactive to others .But I didnt heard about a problem like this among them.Thiyyas and Ezhava castes are marrying off their girls to these Jats. I remember reading about such marriages back in the '80s itself. The women, some of them later told Malayali reporters, they're not really living the life as the wives of their husbands. Horrible scenario. People should know that South Indian culture is moderate and mellow (except Tamils) and they aren't aware of Tribal societies up north. The inter state marriages are basically disaster for Malabari Muslims also who marry off to Mysore and many devastated with the results.
There isn't no equivalent to Jats, Gujjars in south. May be Thevars, Bunts/Shettys can be the maximum in nuisance value.
If you're talking about abortions then let me remind you they kill 2 month old fetus, something which they cant see and are not attached to. So i guess there's no guilt conscious.
Identifying the gender like that is a criminal case in India .Right ?
