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!!
