There is a great deal of talk about vegetarianism today. Every one is conscious of how harmful a non-vegetarian diet is to ecology. It is sad, however, that our knowledge and awareness don't get translated into right action. Not to speak of society, even homes are butcheries. Even in the pious wombs of mothers, we kill without any qualm. The country, it seems, has adopted a fully violent life style. Man Is Losing His
Sensitivity According to research done by Mass Communication Research Centre in Singapore, 74 percent increase in non-vegetarianism in India is due to tele-ads. Is This Progress? Abuse of Medical
Termination of Pregnancy Let Her Die! In the entire world people are fighting against abortion, but facilities for abortion, but facilities for abortion are freely and widely advertised in our country. Shall we ever do anything about these places where humans are butchered? On BBC, Emily Buchanan, in her weekly programme. Assignment, raises third world issues. Whether they focus on Moslem extremists in Algeria, or famine in Zimbabwe, or the exploitation of Latin America by the West, her programmes kick up a lot of dust. A lot of dust was kicked up by her documentary, Let Her Die. Special coverage was given to Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu in the film. These two states have excessive gender related abortions. Buchanan's film tries to focus on the temperament of the aggressive Jaisalmer people and how they consider woman a burden. The film was shown on October 2, 1993, Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. Even through India ignored it, the film viewed internationally - Sweden specially was agitated by it. In the film women confessed that they preferred to be rid of the girl-child while yet unborn. They prefer not to raise her and give dowry. A man stated unabashedly that if his next child was to be a girl he would get it terminated. After the film was telecast, Sweden's Foreign Secretary and Member Parliament Magratha Wilkund expressed shock. She felt that the world should interfere since what was happening in India was abominable. She declared that if India does nothing to stop this brutal practice, there might be economic sanctions against the country. The Human Rights Minister, Alifsenson too reiterated the same sentiment. She suggested that other world agencies working for human rights should step in, and India should stop receiving further aid from the world. Sweden is one of the largest had given ten million rupees through Sweden International Development Agency, SIDA. The money was money was meant for projects from forestation to literacy. Out of this money six crore was meant for education activities and social awareness. The film so affected the Swedish people that one of their teams visiting Rajasthan studied the problem of selection and asked why nothing was being done to stop it. They even asked why aid should be given to India for social uplift if such were its practices. Think Do you think such a brutal act does not affect our code of conduct? Do you think the next generation will not be affected by it? Be warned against those who endorse such practices while yet bachelors! Be warned against those who are willing mated but unwilling fathers! Ask them to which hell they are booking their passage. Or are you determined to make this earth itself the worst hell? Think and decide. His story shall not forgive such humans-- ever. Our modern age is the most progressive of all ages, but when you hear about this deeds of Indians you want to call them cannibals. Can we insult motherhood like this? Can there be we kill girls like this --even before they are born? Can there be worse pain at any moment for a mother whose child is killed in her womb? Forced to accept the killing of her unborn child by this male denominated society of ours, can a woman know worse indignity than this? Think, Woman! Woman, How Can You Do
It? The Blind Law of This
Nation Even an illiterate man calls abortion a sin. He known it is murder. Even the laws of the jungle are not as brutal as the laws of the civilized world. How utterly unfortunate is this nation of ours! What a contradiction in our behaviour! We feed pigeons, give food to ants, give porridge to a bitch after litters, feed even the fish out of kindness, serve the cripple, helps orphans, but we get our own child killed. Why Law? Highly educated parents are the ones most eager to terminate unwanted children. Is this how you control population--by killing the female child through sex selection and turn a mother's womb into a butchery? Is this the nation from which the world learnt the ideal of Brahmacharya, learnt the lesson of self-regimentation? The same nation now indulges in free sex and kills unborn children. This pious nation stands polluted by such behaviour. We have indeed touched the lowest point--our licentious behaviour is such that we order the killing of our own child. This child after all was due to an act of love. If you can do this to your child, you will go ahead and murder others also. The main object of the amniocentesis test was to check on the child's health; now it is used only for sex determination, for termination purposes. Our Western education has made us abuse this test. The figures released by various surveys reveal all that is being done by such centres. In Bombay alone in a short period of one year, thirty to fifty thousand female foetus were destroyed. Whatever anyone may say, I do believe that selective killing of the female child is the latest method of woman's age-old subjugation. According to the latest figures we still have only 921 women per 1000 male in this country. Let's probe a little further. Dilation and Curettage Perhaps the child thinks 'since my mother does not love me, let me die.' The doctors then use forceps to pull out the pieces. If you look at all the tiny limbs of a child ejected from the womb, your heart will wither with grief and shock. Even doctors and nurses hate to be involved in this kind of work. But money makes the mare go. They go ahead and do what they do for money. Some times in the process, the woman's interior lining gets wounded. And she suffers from its ill effect all her life. Some times she loses her capacity to bear children. Caesarean Suction Method Dissolution Method Prostaglandin All these acts, whether done by woman or by man, are worse than anything humans can do. I wonder if the earth is worth inhabiting after this. Even gods wished to be born as humans on this earth, the same human existence is now so barbaric. Let poison not enter our life organs. Resurrect life take care. Even if the population problem is a real problem, we must find new ways to control it-- ways which are not brutal. The Acharyas and saints have given us clean and pious methods like self-control. Practice them. Don't turn this life into a living hell. History will not forgive you.
