The other day when I was talking to my mom, she was remarking about the resurgence of socially oriented television programs on Indian t.v. channels. She mentioned that one of them is based on the practice of female infanticide that continues even today in the states of Haryana, Punjab and I'm sure in many other states. She related a few real life specific incidents of such homicide - drowning the infant in milk vats; feeding finely ground glass... making me shudder and scream and I begged my mom to stop. Such acts make me wonder if there is any such thing as humanitarianism. We are so capable of barbaric acts! What infuriates me even more is the active involvement of women in killing their own daughters! We have simply become an active agent in propagating the ills of such practices in the name of social norms! Why haven't we got together to fight such cruel discrimination against our own kind? Why haven't we got together to throw away such "social norms" that do not preserves basic human rights? Why isn't this blown into a huge human rights issue?
One of my friends once remarked about feminist movements that they are the most fractured movements of all. We have failed in coming together and fighting for our issues, our rights, our space. If women in the villages of Haryana and Punjab got together to prevent this social evil, I'm confident that it can be achieved in no time. The question is how would we educate and empower women!

I dont agree with you when you say feminist movement is one of the most fractured movements...It has made a difference and this may be apparent if you look at the situation before 60-70's. Every movement reaches a plateau and sometimes they also nosedive. Feminist movement has reached a plateau, I would say, for lack of leaders. But then, isn't that true for any movement in India right now? We make leaders that can be counted on fingers and followers in hoards!
I do agree that there has been a significant difference but not enough to raise collective consciousness of self rights. That way, there is a fracture. Also, it would be good to review how far or how deep has the movement been successful. Has the movement been restricted to only certain class/race of women? Has it trickled down?
Sure such movements needs leaders and to put it in a very simple way - it is very important that such leadership is shown by our political representatives who can bring about such a change across all class/caste barriers through education, outreach and other means.
