I think you have brought out a very important point. However, what is more important than the overall sex ratio, which you have cited, is the child sex ratio (the number of girls per thousand boys age 6 years and below). The figures for the child sex ratio have been dismal for the last three decades and the current figure is 914 girls per thousand boys. In most states in north India this figure is much lower. The effect is being felt now as all the extra males born over the three decades are coming of age and cannot find partners. This effect will be felt for the next two decades since we are now at the lowest figure. The primary reason for this, as we all know, is female foeticide or sex selective abortions. We have landed in this mess because our liberal abortion laws allow even the termination of the first healthy pregnancy of a married woman on grounds of contraceptive failure. It is this particular clause which has caused the problem. Crimes against women I am afraid will continue to rise unless we have a re-look at our abortion laws. Please read Section 3 of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act 1971. Regards. Col Pavan Nair (Retd)

Dear General
1. I am in 100% in agreement with your views. I being father of a daughter I am able to feel the pain and the anguish. I would have liked that the culprits be tried and hanged in public.
2. But sir, we are missing on two very important social aspects. No doubt, stringent laws, fast courts, efficient and honest police etc will be big deterrent but with all these we are trying to cut the thorny tree from the top. I consider all these as just one third of the measures. Two thirds of the measures are the social.
3. I am attaching the male to female sex ratio of India, Delhi and states around Delhi. Do you think this is also one of the root causes, for which all of us are responsible.
4. The third cause according to me is the socio economic factor ie labours and blue color workers come to Delhi from other states. They do not get adequate money to support families. Their families are at home either due to economic reasons or some family related issues. I really do not know how this can be resolved.
5. I believe that we got to tackle this problem from the above mentioned three fronts.

Very disturbing news! Feel very sad for her and her parents. Braveheart! RIP.Public anger should be directed to Electoral, Judicial and Police reforms.
- All MPs and MLAs charged for any crime should be thrown out of Parliament/Assemblies. Political parties should be forbidden to give membership to such people.
- Police Reforms as approved by the Supreme Court in 2006 should be implemented in letter and spirit by all states.
- Fast courts to deal with crimes against women.
- Respect for women in society should be part of social studies in all schools. No religion or Khap Panchayat should be allowed to pass dictats that violate this spirit.

This incident has shocked and roused the nation. IAC will pursue it in our own ways once the TV cameras and NGOs have moved onto other issues, and long after all the candles being lit today have flickered out.
