Not much alarm has been raised by a disturbing trend observed in India in recent times.The steeply declining Child Sex Ratio (CSR) in children under six years of age from 945 girls for every 1000 boys in 1991 to 927 in 2001 and to 918 in 2011 in India is deeply alarming. If this trend continues, it could create a societal collapse in the coming decades. The following two pieces of articles, one by Manisha Choudhury (Assam Tribune,24th July) and the other by our esteemed Nobel Peace laureate 2014, Kailash Satyarthi (Assam Tribune,20th July) are very well articulated articles on the increasing gender imbalance that casts a very ominous shadow on our culture and society.
