Do you know that around 50,000 females are missing from India's population at any given time because most of them are buried alive after birth?
For every 100 Indian men, there are less than 93 Indian women, and the number is going down, for the women that is.
And these are the best estimates. Chances are it is worse than what is being reported.
The world's biggest democracy, India, is also home to the world's biggest figures of child deaths, child labor, and child sex bondage. The real shocker, however, is female infanticide where it is an accepted practice in entire Indian villages in many cases to bury female newborns immediately after birth.
Again, this is not a limited phenomenon. It is an ACCEPTED PRACTICE in large swathes of India. As we speak, there is a baby girl somewhere in India, mostly outside the cities, being buried alive right now.
Don't believe me. Check UN figures. Also check this report on an Indian site IndianChild.com
Burying girls alive is not the only anti-woman crime common in India and sanctioned by customs and religion.
There is also marrying off girls as young as 13 to older men.
Again, this is not about isolated incidents. There are entire regions in India where this is a common practice. India has a law against this but it is seldom enforced. If it was, more than 10% of India's population would have been in jail now.
The latest is the story of Rekha Kalindi, a bright 13-year-old poor girl from a village just outside Kolkata, or Calcutta [read her story here]. Rekha's story came to light because she said no to her parents who were marrying her off to a guy more than double her age. She happened to attend a foreign-run school and that’s why her story reached the media. She is lucky. Most of the girls her age in her area are married off before or just at the cusp of puberty.
But you won't hear about this story on CNN or BBC. Now imagine if the same thing happened in Saudi Arabia for example, or Pakistan, or any other Muslim country. Both CNN and BBC and other outlets of the Am-Brit combine would be buzzing with coverage and spilling crocodile tears over the sad state of women in Muslim countries and so forth. Most of the time they exaggerate, since such practices are dying out even inside Saudi Arabia where they are on the extreme fringes of society and do not represent the mainstream Saudi women.
The same goes for Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Egypt and other places. But any woman-related story from these countries is instantly picked up by CNN and BBC to feed a stereotype that indirectly justifies the so-called War on Terror, which in many ways is a War on Islam by the US-UK military-intelligence complex that wants a threat to justify the hunt for world's riches.
Meanwhile, thousands of girls like Rekha go about in India being married off at 13 if they're lucky and not buried alive at birth. And yet India gets away with building nuclear bombs and reactors, now with the active help of the United States. The Indian government is even spending hundreds of millions of dollars to send an Indian to space [most probably to open an offshore call center for the Russians, Americans, and the Chinese who are already there, so goes an online joke I read on a website posted by George Fernandes].
At this point you might ask me: Why India then gets preferential treatment and gets away with all of this?
Simple. India is the new cheap, well equipped slave-soldier for American and British plans in Asia. Who cares about 13-year-old Rekha Kalindi.
Incredible India, isn't it?

ReplyDeleteSince when is marrying an under-age gurl a crime in Islam? You are most certainly an infidel, a kuffar. They are just emulating your prophet.
@ nsk
ReplyDeleteSome people say she was no less than 18-19 years and some say 15-16 years, even though there has been a lot of debate as to what age Hazrat Aisha R.A got married to Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H, there is still NO exact information.
If Muslims don't agree on wht her exact age was how the hell are you so sure?? Stop commenting on things you have no knowledge about!
Well written article but I must say that AQ used very SOFT example for exposing Hindu India.
ReplyDelete------>AQ wrote "For every 100 Indian men, there are less than 93 Indian women. Chances are it is worse than what is being reported".
===Dear AQ, do you know they have already arranged the solution for this problem. Now, a Hindu women can marry more than one husband in same time, so the shortfall of women can be overcome by this "Relaxation" which Hindu DHARAM provides to its followers. A Hindu women can marry 10 or even 100 or even 1000 husbands in same time.
------> AQ furthur wrote "The world's biggest democracy, India, is also home to the world's biggest figures of child deaths, child labor, and child sex bondage."
===Dear AQ, it seems that you have not reviewed this report of World Bank, for your convenience I am pasting here some chunks, which will help you in determining the state of the so called Self Styled and Self Pro-claimed "Asian Economic Giant" here you are, "The World Bank estimates that 456 million Indians (42% of the total Indian population) now live under the global poverty line of $1.25 per day (PPP). This means that a third of the global poor now reside in India. India has a higher rate of malnutrition among children under the age of three (46% in year 2007) than any other country in the world. The World Bank, citing estimates made by the World Health Organization, states that about 49 per cent of the world's underweight children, 34 per cent of the world's stunted children and 46 per cent of the world's wasted children, live in India. 1/4 of the nation's population earns less than the government-specified poverty threshold of 12 rupees per day."
===49 per cent of the world's underweight children, 34 per cent of the world's stunted children and 46 per cent of the world's wasted children, live in India. This is exactly why we have so many people who belong to "46% of world's wasted childern" who are now creating chaos in Balochistan and Tribal areas. IS THERE NO PROPER WAY FOR THE DISPOSAL OF SUCH WASTED AND STUNNED CHILDREN.
ReplyDelete===A third of the global poor now reside in India.
=== 2007 report by the state-run National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector (NCEUS) found that 77% of Indians, or 836 million people, lived on less than 20 rupees (approximately USD $0.41) per day. My Comments: For most of the Pakistanis this amount is even less than their daily expenditure on Tea and Smoking.
Would you like to know how Indians take good care of their grandmothers?
ReplyDeleteBy marrying them since marriage seems to be the ONLY sacred way for helping the elderly in old age.
LOL (actually Disgusted out loud)
