India infanticide has and is a big topic in India for many decades. It is the killing of girls using selective gender techniques. Whether it would be infanticide or abortion because of economic, financial burden when she gets married, and for spiritual rights that only men can do these were all old Indian ways. India needs to make more laws and new regulatory agencies to enforce these rules and procedures. They do not enforce their own laws now and with no agency, nothing is being done to solve this…

He would create an entire story about a model citizen who would abstain from sex and turn plenty of people into…
