Think it through, the male female ratio in India

I think most newspapers like sensationalism and don't think through the whole process. They are taking the statiscal data and interpreting results but none of them have give thought as to why this is happening? Fundamentally there was a population boom and resources were scarce. Hence children soon became a means of income and male children were preferred over female children as they were better suited for physical labor. Now most of these dumb ass newspapers have presented the data and a million other opinions but none to solve the actual problem. Preaching morality and equality will not help these people because hunger supersedes everything. These people need help with employment, feeding their kids and education. Well most of the activists don't want to deal with the ground reality, they just want to argue about the consequences of the situation in an upscale coffee shop. Oh by the way I'm waiting for the bra burners to jump on this, conduct rallies and demand justice for women (Oops a small paradox, the mother is equally responsible for the abortion). I'm sure such practices will be condemned by most politicians too but unfortunately most of people who are doing this cannot hear you (apparently there are people out there who don't have radio's) and even if they get the message they don't really give a shit because "you don't know what they went through and are going through".
