Answer:
EVILS OF GENDER DISCRIMINATION
The Implications of Sex Selection
Gender discrimination plays out in two sequences. The first one is the immediate disappearance of girls at birth (or during early childhood) while the second one refers to future demographic disturbances among adults. The routine elimination of girls before their birth is no doubt the most extreme symptom of women's contemporary undervaluation that goes well beyond all other forms of discrimination. Since Amartya Sen's pioneer paper on missing women (Sen, 1990), we can measure the extent of the resulting gap across populations. Within families, the imbalance is mostly invisible since parents who abort female fetuses often have had prior girls. But when compared across larger communities, figures point inescapably to a surplus of boys. It is in fact possible to get a better idea of the actual rift between male and female by using demographic estimates on the age and sex distribution for entire populations. ‘Missing women’ are women that ought to be found in population censuses if the sex distribution was not skewed toward men. By applying sex ratios by age computed for nondiscriminating countries, from Latin America to Europe, and correcting for age and mortality variations, it is possible to assess the number of women that are apparently missing from demographic records in Asia and Eastern Europe.
Using such a technique in conjunction with the United Nations Population Division population estimates, we obtain a total gender gap of 117 million women missing in 2010 (Table 2). Most of them should be found in China (66 million) and India (43 million). This large figure reflects in part the recent rise in sex-selective abortions, but also the cumulated toll of excess female mortality in the past. It is equivalent to the female population of Brazil or Indonesia, respectively the fifth and fourth most populous countries in the world. It represents about 8% of the female population in affected countries.
MY FAVORITE FESTIVAL
Diwali is great festival of Hindus it is celebrate with great love in all over the country.it is the festival of light. People say that we celebrate Diwali because on that day god ram return from lanka and the people of ayodhya welcomed him by lightning small lamps so as honor to lord Ram and also to conquer darkness we celebrate this festival. Diwali is the symbol of the victory of the forces of good over evil. Thus Diwali – My Favourite Festival and I like it from when I were kid. Jains says this is the day when Lord Mahavira attained “moksha or salvation”. They show lights in jubilation of thus attainment. Dayanand Saraswati of Arya Samaj also attained ‘Nirvana’ on this day. It is a festival of lights and firework. It comes after Durga Puja as the winter sets in. In West Bengal and some other places in North India Goddess Kali is worshipped during the Diwali. As the lights keep away the darkness, Goddess Kali drives away the evil forces in our world.
