Sex Determination??

Recently I came to know that a village Panchayat has decided to take measures in order to prevent female foeticide. The Panchayat has decided that they will give prize money of Rs.5100 to the person giving information about illegal sex determination tests being conducted in their area. The Panchayat have also decided that they will punish the people indulging in it. I think it’s a great step taken for prevention of female foeticide by the panchayat. The Panchayat has set an example to eradicate evil from the society. This kind of decision is very important. If the female foeticide continue, there will be great imbalance of sexual ratio. The government should encourage the efforts of the Panchayat and support them. I think electronic Media can play an important role. Media should highlight the efforts of the Panchayat so that more people come forward to eradicate this evil from the society.

Earlier a boy selects her bride in many girls and many were rejected. But due to this imbalance in sexual ratio, the trend has been changed; now the girls are rejecting the boys as they have the choice now.

Sex determination is not being done in villages but in cities also, where educated people live. The difference in villages is that if they have baby boy they will go for the next child to get boy. They don’t go for the test. And in such process they have more than three children. But in our cities, if we get first child baby girl then for the next we will go for sex determination test and if again the girl then the chances are that abortion will be done.

The doctors who are doing all this are not even scared about the laws made in this regard. They are making good bucks; actually our law enforcing bodies are not doing their work in the right way. They all know what’s happening and where it is being done but they also take bribe and let the things happens. This is our society, we the individuals or with the help of group should take up the matter for prevention of female foeticide.

Some fertility centers have come up and claim that by taking their advice it will be boy. Actually in my opinion these centers should also be banned. They also come in the same category as tests conducted for sex determination. But still lot to do in this regard. (“Abhi bahut kuchh karna hai”).

Kindly share with me your views, whether the same is being done in your country or any such incidents in your family, in your neighborhood.
