MILLIONS OF GIRL CHILDREN MURDERED BEFORE BIRTH-FEUDAL OUTLOOK HAS TO BE DEFEATED TO STOP THIS TREND
A study “Trends in selective abortion of girls in India: Analysis of nationally representative birth histories from 1990 to 2005 and Census data from 1991 to 2011” published in the latest edition of the “The Lancet”(world’s leading general medical journal) revealed that the girl-boy ratio in India fell from 906 girls per 1000 boys in 1990 to 836 in 2005, an annual decline of 0.52%. It revealed that this was due to aborting the girl child before birth. The largest number of such abortion took place in 1990s after the initiation of the liberalisation-privatisation-globalisation policies. The study revealed that this dropping in sex ratio is more pronounced among the richest and educated families. This is due to their ability to have better access to sex diagnostic techniques and abortion and ability to evade law. The wealthier and educated households are more pronouncedly aborting the girl child if their first born child also is a girl.
The study revealed that well over 4.2 million to 12.1 million girls were prevented from being born between 1980 and 2010. The number of selective abortion of girls rose from 0.2 million in 1980s to 1.2 million to 4.1 million in 1990s, and to 3.1 million to 6 million in 2000s. The study revealed that between 2001 and 2011 census, more than twice the number of Indian districts showed decline in the child sex ratio compared with no change or increases.
This mass scale murder of girl children before birth is due to the feudal outlook(son should be there to inherit the property and to save father from Punnama naraka) in favour of male children and the richer people with this outlook having better access to sex determination techniques with ability to evade law accompanied along with the necessity for family planning.
Therefore even to have a proper sex ratio in the Indian population we have to fight against the feudal tradition and outlook.(source of the news; The Hindu, 25-5-2011)
BHARTI AIRTEL OPERATING TELECOM SERVICES IN 14 AFRICAN COUNTRIES-EXAMPLE OF INDIAN BIG CAPITALISTS EXPANDING THEIR BUSINESS INTERNATIONALLY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY
As per the report in “The Hindu” dated 25-5-2011, Sunil Mittal, Chairman of Bharti Airtel told that it will invest 1 billion dollars(Rs 4500 crore) in the African continent to expand its network throughout the 16 countries in that continent. In his vie Africa offers a long term opportunity for Indian businesses in manufacturing, agriculture, services and more and more Indian businesses should participate in Africa.
Such expansion of Indian Corporates to other countries is being portrayed by the Corporate media as a great success for which every Indian should be proud of. Is it so? Why should ordinary Indian be proud of such achievement of these Corporates and big capitalists unless they are helping in the self sufficiency and sovereignty of the country? Sri Sunil Mittal who is interested in expanding his business to Africa is not at all interested in encouraging the indigenous manufacture of modern telecom equipment. Bharti Airtel submitted to TRAI that “any kind of regulation /mandate on the use of Indian products in the telecom network would be counterproductive and would retard the growth of Indian telecom sector..”.
Therefore the Indian Big Capitalists are not patriotic enough to encourage indigenous manufacture of modern telecom equipment. They do not want the Government to stipulate any condition on the telecom services companies to purchase telecom equipment manufactured by India.
On the other hand, being the Public Sector Undertaking, BSNL is mandated to procure 30% of its equipment from ITI. It is good since it is encouraging Indian manufacture. But why the Government is not putting the same condition on private operators? All patriotic people must demand the Government to impose the condition on private telecom operators to mandatorily purchase Indian manufactured telecom equipment, at least up to certain percent of their requirement.
