Each of these inequalities are interrelated, among them feiticide ( i.e natality inequality)has taken a horrid face since 1991. Technological advancement, awareness generation negatively impacted the status of women, the bright example is the differential sex ratio in rural and urban India. If one visit Alwar, a small district of Rajasthan 90 kilometer away from Delhi and 2 and half hours distance from Jaipur, certainly she will astound with number of mother and child hospital. It arouse one question whether this area has higher number of children or is it the demography of this area suitable to carry on illegal work of female foeticide.All the cities near by are well guarded with law, so it is easy to carry on the operation in a small place. But the question is really our govt. worried about this issue ? Is this so difficult to control this illegal operation? If it is really concerned, could some political leaders openly invested lakhs of rupees on the marriage of their child or bestowed thousand gifts to their son-in-law ? This is high time to stop this illegal operation. With the govt's responsibility, it is the responsibility of each and every citizen to voice against it. We need revolution.
