Satyamev Jayate Episode 1st - 6th May 2012
Large-scale killing of girls before birth has led to a serious gender imbalance in the Indian population, and severe social problems as a result


Expecting a child is often a nightmare for women who are pressurized to produce a boy under pain and torture.

Contrary to popular belief, female foeticide happens among the urban, educated sections as much as in the rural areas.

Society, the law and the official machinery often turn a blind eye and those who try to find a solution face harassment

A dearth of women due to female foeticide will result in them being traded like commodities. The horrible truth is that this is already happening.

The solution lies in amending the system, changing official and social attitudes, and in taking individual action.
