Subject: Role of the government and people in curbing female foeticide.

Respected sir/ madam,
Through the columns of your prestigious newspaper, I want to highlight the role of the government and people in curbing female foeticide. At the core of it is the notion that girl's are 'paraya dhan'. which means that the financial expenditure incurred on a girl child including her education, health, clothing, and food will not bring any returns. In fact, these would need to be topped up with a substantial one-time dowry.
The other aspect is the notion that the male child in the bread earner. Although, it is difficult to get exact data of how many sons and daughters support their parents, it is true that with changing lifestyles, families are becoming more and more nuclear.
In this context government intervention at the central and state levels would help Annual tax benefits could be given to the parents of a gìrl child and we should abolish dowry once and for all. The government can aslo bring in legislation so that a part of a gìrl's income gets transferred to her parents account, with the government was the mediator In case, the gìrl is not working the onus can shift onto her husband.
Governments at the centre and state levels have been running campaigns to stop female foeticide and they are indeed commendable. However, we have a long way to go before we are able to change the way our society operates.
Yours faithfully,
Vaibhav
