Unchaahi: against Female Foeticide in India

Friday, February 19, 2010

hi all,
Do read this article that appeared in mumbai mirror yesterday. it speaks of how aishwarya rai is down with TB and therefore has postponed her plans of getting pregnant. it is a stupid article in any case, and the paper has not even revealed the journalist's name. But what is most objectionable is this line - "within, there’s a very ardent desire to have an heir for the family as soon as possible. Mr Bachchan is especially sold on a grandson, but when asked about it he says, as usual, “When it happens, it will happen.”.
it is sad that MM has carried a story that tells us that Amitabh Bachchan is keen on a grandson and not a granddaughter. this is indeed disappointing and shocking. Female Infanticide is rampant exactly due to this attitude. Please do write to mirrorfeedback@indiatimes.com and (cc to) meenal.baghel@timesgroup.com and speak up!!

  • Shri Rama Bhajans . it is marvellous to note how the divine expressions woven with hypnotic music and mesmerising voice create an ambience filled with joy and peace.

  • recently i too felt the same way, if the mass genocide on female fetus continues the consequences will be really undesirable like china

  • This comment is not related to this post, however I am posting here nevertheless for sake of this being the latest post. This is regarding your comments at TLH.com: If you don't know about the depth and breadth of a sensitive and important issue, then its good to shut than to speak and show your influenced mind by the majority. Little knowledge is a dangerous thing and that is what hypocrite and uninformed Sikhs like you do when they delve into issues out of compulsion and fear to assimilate with your majority Hindu masters. You suck like other umpteen Sikh girls, informed or uniformed of their history, who are the real back stabbers of the panth.

  • Where, at one point, people are killing their unborn or newly born daughters...There are thousands of women who deliver their babies in such unhygienic conditions that neither the baby nor the mother, survives for more than a few days- in fact, for not even a few hours. Is it not up to us to make sure that this does not happen…

  • hi, nice information. i want to share my views which may help others. After years of searching for a solution for my premature ejaculation problem, I found Invigo. The best part is that I dont have to worry about any side effects and I dont need to depend on a pill every time as it is a permanent solution. I recommend Invigo to all who have this problem and you would definitely find a difference. I am glad it is coming to India.we can find it on www.invigo.in

  • It is indeed saddening that we have to cast our opinions everywhere. What is wrong in wishing for a male child?It is not like amitabh said he will kill if aishwarya bears a girl child? I feel it is more important HOW we devote our time and resources to give the child [whatever sex] a fair chance to compete in the world.

    Before you feel offended I am aware of the statistic that there is a precarious sex ratio in our country some where about 1000:951, so do you mean to say couples have to bear more female children, so as to “fix” the situation.

    Madam, kindly do not read TOI and any of its sister publications save the economic time with a serious vision. I KID you not 

  • MM and Mid-day have stooped extremely low. I don't think sending mails to them would make much difference.

    Moreover, I'm appalled to read some of the comments, comments from Harpreet and Dhanesh, to be precise.

    Anyway, I don't want to go off-topic.

    And, please continue blogging :-)
