| General note |
The issues of female infanticide and female foeticide have acquired considerable public prominence, in the context of the discussions<br/>on adverse sex-ratio in India. In the literature on adverse sex-ratio, using anthropological and demographic perspectives, there are<br/>several attempts to understand these practices, whose impact might lead to gender imbalances. Yet, this paper contests that such<br/>explanations remain comparatively inadequate in explaining the phenomenon of female infanticide and female feticide. It is intriguing to<br/>note that female infanticide which was claimed to be effectively controlled in pre-independent India has resurfaced in post-independent<br/>India not just among the communities which were historically alleged to have been associated with practices of female infanticide and<br/>female feticide, but even among communities and regions where it was previously unknown. Added to the practice of female infanticide,<br/>is female foeticide, thanks to the arrival of medical technologies. It is argued and even proved empirically in the context of north India<br/>that development in communication, transport and health sectors has resulted in comparative decline of female infanticide and feticide.<br/>However in this paper, on the basis of empirical studies, I argue that in South India there are increasing signs of female infanticide and<br/>feticide in some regions and some groups amidst development and relative prosperity. I attempt to explain this through kinship and<br/>marriage rules changing forms of economic relationship, health infrastructure, education, son preference/daughter neglect, overall<br/>prosperity and patriarchy. |
