India probes baby body parts find

Police in the eastern Indian state of Orissa say they have recovered nearly 30 bags full of babies’ body parts from a waste dump near a maternity clinic.

Forensic tests are being carried out on the remains following the raid near the town of Nayagarh on Sunday.

It is thought the find could be linked to the killing of female foetuses - a practice fairly widespread in India.

According to one estimate, up to 10m female foetuses may have been aborted in the country in the past two decades.

India, where boys have traditionally been favoured over girls, banned gender selection and selective abortion in 1994.

PS : Few things i came to know are

1. The year 2007 is being observed as the ‘Awareness Year of Female Foeticide’.

2. Even BBC couldn’t get the latest sex ratio of India (last known is 2001)

3. In many of the metropolitan woman themselves go for it…Now are they forced, i am not aware.

Oh my god! This is too gory, but I can imagine it to be true… I’m from Orissa so this news is more disconcerting to me, but this kind of practice is prevalent in many states, including Punjab and Rajasthan, which are relatively more developed than Orissa! Apparently this has nothing to do with development and education…

This is another shocking news. In our country where the mother is worshipped and most rivers have female names, still our society can be so cruel, its very sad indeed.

The world has changed as it was never before. Yes change happens and that’s the only thing that’s constant. But the upshot of all changes cannot be rationally judged as dependable one.
