Subject: Problem of female foeticide
Sir:
I am writing this letter to express my deep anguish over the problem of female foeticide in our country. In spite of the stringent laws against female foeticide, this evil practice is going on rampantly in many states of India such as Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, U.P. and Bihar.
The latest data and forecast issued by the government are quite discouraging. The gender ratio in India is becoming disproportionate. The number of males per females is increasing. The data predicts that in the coming years the ratio of young women is going to fall alarmingly. In 2011 the ratio was 939 and in 2021 it will be 904.
Female foeticide is one of the many causes behind this falling ratio. People in India prefer sons to daughters. As a result female foeticide is practiced unscrupulously in many states. Through the columns of your esteemed daily I appeal to the concerned Ministry to look into the problem and take more stringent measures to stop this evil practice.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Upen Mehta
