Haryana Goof up on Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PNDT) Act

[annch]

Arya ji,
You are absolutely right here.
The other day I had shared the same thoughts with a dear one. It is very difficult not to worry when a girl of any age steps out of the home. No mother would like to see her daughter go through that anguish and helplessness that many in her gender go through. But then, there are always the "brave ones"...
Regards,
Anju

Thanks Anju and Samar for thought provoking inputs, apart from the points raised by you I think there is one more factor which leads to female foeticide and that is difficult upbringing or a girl child in the society as it is today. Nowadays even the girls of 10 years is not safe and many a times encounters lewd gestures and remarks of males.... It is not possible for girls to step out of their homes after sunset.... who knows where the wolf are waiting. Parents, specially un or less educated saw only one remedy to above problem and that is not to have a girl in their homes.

Lately there was a law passed by Hooda government that those who won't take care of their elder parents shall be punished and jailed.Link could be found anywhere on internet.

Now in first look it appears as a good step. But on other lines, state has taken power in to family matters which is surely going to widen the gap of already bruised ego's in family.

How this is related to PNDT and similer laws:

Why govt. should have to come up or precisely held responsible for fetous abortion or punishing children who care or dont care about their parents?
I was surprised to see the report that only medical practisnor are being held guily? Where are those mothers who stepped in to clinics and laid on bed to get the another human being out of womb? They shall be prosecuted with same or more intensity legaly as well as socialy. It is very easy to sit and find flaws in Govt's on goings? It is funny and pathetic to think that Govt would be deciding about people's intercourse and consequences in the form of a girl child.

Instead of a symptomatic treatment of female foeticide though a long legal procedure, people are not calling government on a strict ban over medication, equipments especially used in abortion.



Jat society as in terms of social ethics is on downward spiral. Jat Mahasabhas, Sarv Khap are only socio-religious outfit we have at the moment. Every one in a rural area is aware about them unlike other laws. Their decisions( good or bad in taste) are being taken as orders. In my opinion, they have a serious role to play here in this case. Govt can not reach to every home and bait people moraly. If attitude of couples could be improved then only these organisations could become a catalyst It is the responsiblity of these OLDEST REPUBLICS in the human history to take care of a problem which is not generated by Govt rather by people itself. So their leadership and vision( or lack of it ) about Jat population's imbalance shall be discussed in deep to avoid survival issues in future. I would not be wishy-washy here about them. Its a work and challange to these organisations. If they can be highly strict on similar gotra/same village marriage WHY not in case of different gotra/different village marriage and kids being produced out of that.? Why they have been treating this issue as achhut?

It is a collective responsblity with more weigthage towards an educated Jat and Jatni, Oldest republics, Panchayts and in last Govt.

Who Says Govt. Cannot reach every Home?
If following steps are taken by govt. i don't think it is such a big task.
1. On every girl birth Rs. 25000 will be deposited in a national bank which can be withdrawan by girl only after she is 18.
2. Education of female (School college (including professional education) ) will be free of cost. This rule is to be implimented in private educational organisations.
3. For female marriege govt. will provide one lakh rupees.
4. Female foeticide will be banned if someone caught in that act should be punished lifeterm without bail.
5. Dowery act should be implimented strictly.

Sarvkhaps have lost their powers people are no longer taking care of panchayats. Their power was reduced by Govt. itself. Court is interfering their decisions and educated people like you and me think they are useless even sons of the panchayat heads are not listning to their decisions. 20 saal pehle panchayat ke faisle ke baad court thana nahi hota tha lekin aaj log sabse pehle court mein jate hain. bhai bhai ke jhagde ke fainsle bhi court karne lage hain. Log panchayat ke fainsle par ungali utha ke kehne lage hain ki rishwat lene lage hain. Mahapanchayat mil ke jat reservation ke liye kaam kar rahi hai sayad ye kamyab ho jaye to panchayat ko fir se takat mile agar aisa hua to Samar ji ki baat ko panchayat tak pahunchane ki guarrantee meri. Lekin unki us koshis ke liye hi log use galat batate hain. Halat aapke aage hain sarvakhap panchayat ne agar fainsla le liya ki agar female foeticide ka pata laga to muh kala kar ke gaon mein ghuma diya jayega ya hukka paani band ho jayega to aap hi kahenge yaar inki koye sunwayee na hai pade rehan dyo in ne. ek taraf to aap mahasabha ko galat galat keh kar uski takkat ko kam kar rahe hain aur doosri aur aap chahte hain ki wo aapke hisab se kaam kare. Request to members Either Be part of it or stop blaming it for this thing.By Be the part doesn't mean that you go with panchayats i request you to follow its decisions by making your mind that they are working for betterment. But alas............

Spot on Rakesh, today Panchayats are not that much effective as they are supposed to be, but as you yourself has pointed it out, it is all due to us, we are not listning to their views on many matters. But still they are powerful and can do many a good works if they want to.
On your points regarding providing free education to female students etc. I think these are implemented in all the govt. run schools and colleges. but still and govt. is providing financial help to the parents of girls in some cases, but these will not eradicate the cause for female foeticide, unless the environment is more condusive for their upbringing.
However, as per the policy of SAAM DAAM DAND and BHED, it is dand which is more effective for conveying the message, and that is what Govt. should do, and what it is doing is not notifying the act which is supposed to punish the doctors and practitioners for Pre Natal Sex Determination........

Private Collages ki fees pugani bhari ho rahi hai sir ji
Chora padhana okha hai aadmi chori ne padhate tem soche hai paraye ghar jagi ke hamne kamayee degi. Je un collages mein Choriya khater padhai bilkul free ho to aadmi ne koye tension nahi rehgi more educated a female will be less female foeticide we can expect.

Yes Rakesh Ji, problem is there, but can't we overcome it by sheer willpower. If we think that girl is goint to another home tha's why her teaching is a second priority after our sons then we are heading towards doomsday. Moreover, the boys are proving to be less intelligent year after year and they are also proving to be non supporting towards their parents, so I think it is high time that we should think again about our views on prefering a sons education above our daughters'.
And secondly my dear brother, it is not the education of the female which will reduce the female foeticide, but the education of male, because we are still living in the male dominated society, where females of a family has lesser say in all matters including producing an offspring.
