In India, it is nothing unusual to read news stories about female foeticide  or abduction of girls. But what is extremely disconcerting is that one crime feeds on the other and the entire outcome is condoned by the society at large.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a typical village in Haryana, the sex-ratio is so skewed that there are few prospective brides available. So they conveniently buy ‘girls’ abducted from impoverished regions and the demand-supply chain is well established . But, why have the villagers become silent spectators to this heinous practice ? The uncomfortable truth is that every third house in the village is party to such a crime, in one way or the other.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Ironically, the relentless pursuit for male offspring has all but emasculated the society.<\/p>\n

Men and women alike have lost the courage to stand up for justice and compassion to stand by the oppressed.<\/p>\n

Where are the Khap Panchayats , the custodians of clan honour ? What kind of honour does, abduction or purchase of girls bring ?<\/p>\n

More than enacting of stringent laws, the need of the hour is social reformers !<\/p>\n

I wish, Anna hazare and his gang of four (Kejriwal, Bedi, Sisodia and Bhushan) , who have considerable influence in the region, channelize their energy to weed out this malaise . After all, what good can an anti-corruption to law do to a society where every home is morally corrupt ?<\/div>\n
