Mohan and all:
The Progressive Women's Association's chief co-ordinator, Shahnaz Bukhari, is in the forefront fighting against all odds to persuade the legislators to fix the problem. We in South Asia,esp in India, are so proud of and pray to Saraswathi, Mahalaxmi etc and still do this kind of thing. It is beyond comprehension. Life without parole, education, vigorous prosecution of families demanding dowry, more and more proactive woman organizations, should help alleviate this malady. The grooms accepting dowry, should be outlawed and prevented from ever holding a corporate or Govt jobs.
If we in India don't take care the most vulnerable, the least, the lonliest and the last, we are not a democratic society. Selective, invasive, injurious, abortion practices on female fetuses should be outlawed and prosecuted. The doctors engaged in this selective female fetus pregnancy termination should be stripped of their licenses to practice medicine. Informants and whistle blowers should be encouraged and rewarded upon conviction of these criminals.
