No worry there.
This really is a means of birth control.
40 million fewer women in India means 400 million fewer Indians.
They do not need more people, so this is good for them and good for the Earth.

I too have read through this post (while working mind you) and the main thing that keeps coming to mind is that women should be in charge of this world. Intelligent and properly educated women who have a history of compassion. These women should outnumber men in all aspects of all societies. You can have a woman in charge of a country, but the fact remains that if she is profesionally surrounded by a majority of men......the majority ends up ruling in the end. The balance neds to be shifted IMO. Radically at first so that people can see the changes taking place, and then slowly integrate more men back into power.
It's no secret that men and women are going to have different perpectives on issues, and the fact remains that the majority of the world is run by men. And it's also no secret that the majority of the world is a f^$%&ed up place to live.MAybe this radical shift in the power structure would work......maybe it wouldn't. But we won't know unless we try. What have we got to lose?
Here's a link that I found interesting:

Note China and India. maybe Morpheus can shed some lght on this because I'm taking the word "incumbant" in this context to mean "indefinate." Maybe I'm wrong?

30 years ago China enacted the 1 child policy. Today they have a severe shortage of females. Its really disturbing that in this era of life men still consider females as a staple a commodity. I can only see this as sinister and elitist type engineering. This is a complete depopulation movement without the foresight of the future outcome.edit on 8-3-2012 by lbndhr because: (no reason given)

Of course it is and they are still struggling with one of the largest populations on earth. So I don't see any great evils in trying to limit the number of children. But straight out aborting a child because it is female ? To me that's just horrendous. Morpheus sees this where most in his country don't. I think when you've grown up with things being a certain way it becomes hard to see that it may be wrong. Or it's just easier to leave things as they are.edit on 8-3-2012 by randyvs because: (no reason given)
What is disturbing is when a depopulation occurs it is always the females or the lower class people who get sent to their death, be it through abortion, one child policy=possible girl so possible abortion. If they want to depopulate or slow the growth why not put something in their feed, oops I meant food sorry my bad. Anyhow your right its their right to choose how and who to limit the numbers.

Dowry system and female foeticide are deeply connected and I suggest everyone to read about both to understand why this is happening and why both of these are required to be rooted off from this world.

men are good only if theres enough women around to give birth to them so having a pro male policy will eventually lead to there being no one around and the few remaining women will be treated like godessess

Great post! I would also be interested to find out the stats on homosexuality in these areas and if it is openly accepted or not.

I think this is less a case of treating girls like they are worth less and more a case of trying to keep their population under control. Think about it, a population of 1.1 billion people. That's a ridiculous percentage of the entire worlds population, considering there is only about 7 billion people on the planet.edit on 8-3-2012 by ChaoticOrder because: (no reason given)
Ya with that many people one would think they should've done something a long time ago. That is a mess of people.

Is the sociopolitical atmosphere in India one that would tolerate a protest?
END DOWRY SYSTEM
