1. Satyamev Jayate.

For every 1000 boys, there are 914 girls and the numbers are diminishing. Over 3 crore girls have either been aborted or terminated immediately post birth. Extremely heart-touching and astonishing facts. Salute Aamir Khan and team for initiating Satyamev Jayate through one of the most sensitive subjects of the nation. I have no doubts that it a devastating social evil. However, would like to dig a bit further and raise a question - "Why do people want to abort a girl child?". The possible replies could create a chain reaction - Social Structure - No motivation for education - Corruption - Poverty - Dowry System - Discrimination.... If a girl child is born in a family, what immediate questions would parents have in their mind. 1. What if she doesn't get a good family post marriage? 2. What if she studies more and doesn't get a suitable match? 3. What if she studies less and doesn't get a right guy? 4. What if she is abused or molested? 5. What if she turns out to be so innocent that the world sucks her up? 6. What do we do in our old age when she gets married and not allowed to meet us much? 7. How will she be able to manage her in-laws if they torture her? 8. We would spend on her upbringing and finally she will leave the house and thereafter also, we would still need to look after the requirements from the in-laws side. I am not saying that all these questions will come in each and every parent's mind but a straight forward and blunt remark that I would like to make is - Are parents really relieved to have a girl child or somewhere they think that having a boy child will always add to their family tree, existence, ego and social presence? PS: Neither I am against gal child nor am I against any parents or their thoughts. This is a general observation that I am attempting to present and due to this, if I have hurt anyone's sentiments, please forgive me. PPS: On a lighter note, (as Aamir too rightly presented), if the ratio diminishes further, what will happen to the remaining guys who fall out of the competition.. the remaining 86 of 1000, I mean.
