World’s Biggest Genocide: 40 Million Girls Killed In One Country

[mr42O]

Tru or false ?

Forty million women killed, buried alive, abandoned, or married off at young age to old men. And if they are not killed, entire villages force their girls into prostitution.

This is a place where 50,000 unborn girls are aborted every month, where thousands of little girls are either buried alive or abandoned. A place where the female ratio is lowest in the world. A place with the highest number of underage girls married to older men, and the highest number of female infanticide: the practice of burying new born baby girls alive.

Around 40 million girls have been aborted, murdered or abandoned in this one nation since 1980.

This is India. Home to the biggest genocide against women on the planet.

And it continues as we speak.

“It’s the obliteration of a whole class, race, of human beings. It’s half the population of India,” said women’s rights activist Ruchira Gupta of Apne Aap Women Worldwide, in interview with ABC.

If a baby girl survives abortion or burial in India, she is forced into prostitution.

It is a crime in India to use an ultrasound to determine the sex of a child and it is also illegal to perform an abortion based on gender, but the laws are rarely enforced.

India has resources to spend on stopping this massive ill-treatment of women but it prefers to spend billions on weapons.

India is on a quest for superpower status and is spending its resources on the military. It has already spent $2 billion in Afghanistan to contain Pakistan, and billions more to counter China.

But can the Indian government really stop this mistreatment of Indian women?

It can. The Indian government had $264 billion in its savings account in 2009. This figure has jumped to $307 billion in the first week of December 2011.

So India basically has a rich government that refuses to share wealth with India’s poor, who happen to be the largest single block of poverty anywhere in the world.

Two women, one Indian and the other American, brought this silent genocide to world’s attention this month. Gita Aravamudan is the author of the book, ‘Disappearing Daughters’. And Mindy McReady is a journalist working for ABC television in the United States.

Together they have produced a compelling documentary, titled, ‘India’s Deadly Secret: Why an estimated 40 million girls have gone missing in India?’

Sadly, the Indian police and judiciary are corrupt and their silence can be bought. Even worse, the policemen and the judges are, after all, Indian men who don’t see much wrong in getting rid of female babies.

“The very people who have to implement the law — the police and the judiciary — also believe that having too many girls is a burden on the family,” Gupta said. “They never implement the laws because they believe in the same thing, and sometimes actually do the same thing.”

The real issue here is Hinduism, the majority Indian religion. It attaches a very low status to women, and thousands of years of practice has entrenched the anti-girl bias in Indian psyche. Today, there are thousands of Indian villages that push their girls into prostitution, if they survive abortion and infanticide.

In September 2011, Catholic Online wrote in a report quoting an Indian charity that “Young girls are pushed into the sex business by their own fathers and brothers, who see nothing wrong with it. They claim it is a tradition that has been passed down through generations. Under the devdasi (“servant of God”) culture, girls were dedicated to a life of sex work in the name of religion.”

Good ol' missionaries aka snake oil sellers.

*facepalm*

The treatment of women in other neighbouring countries (two Islamic countries included) is no better than India.

If a baby girl survives abortion or burial in India, she is forced into prostitution.

I think anyone with even half a brain can see the absurdity in this statement especially when the First Citizen of the country is a woman.

On the whole a BS article that focusses its entire energy on sensationalizing,blowing-out-of-proportion things, that are slowly on the decrease as education increases.

 

[notsuperstitious]

Such crude bad propaganda is good for reinforcing the supremacist ideas of some.

I wish only this propaganda was enough to keep these barking dogs at bay, but they are rabid and do sometimes bite. Hence we must keep our weapons sharp.

After all, what more coaxing we need to overcome our weaknesses, when we see our enemies with a past of a hundred genocides trying to take advantage of it???

 

[below_freezing]

This is a big problem in countries with too many lowly educated people. China, South Korea, Armenia and Albania all have this problem, due to high poverty in the recent past but not enough poverty to cut off ultrasound access, and low social development, India is no different.

The sad thing is, it usually isn't the couples themselves that do it, but their parents that pressure them, and since tradition is strong and people are ignorant, they accept their parents decisions without thinking.

It's a badly written,hyper-exxagerated propaganda piece based on things that once used to happen in India but rapidly decreasing with increasing literacy.

Stupid thread..does not deserve any further reply.

superstition is the single greatest enemy of human rights in the world. Nazi Germany could not compare in killing power to superstitions in both China and India. education and if necessary, brute force by government, is the only way.

I remember reading that Ayn Rand loved smoking, and believed that all the doctors who told her that she was gonna die from smoking was part of a conspiracy to limit her freedom. Then she died of lung cancer. There is no freedom to be stupid and ignorant.
