Description
The Endangered Half is a historical study into the causes and effects of an imbalanced sex ratio on our society. It has exhaustive data on the population, its growth pattern and distribution in the states and the communities which traditionally practiced female infanticide.Indian society is, like most countries in the world, a patriarchal one with the exception that preference for the male offspring has the sanction of religion and culture. How ever, this culture which has traditionally devalued females, is responsible for se selectively killing millions of female foetuses and infants each year. This is the major cause of the steady decline in the female sex ratio in India.The influence this will have upon the popu ration distribution has been analysed in the matrix of history because the measures to stop the rampant female foeticide and infanticide should first be assessed in the light of its origins.
