This disgusting insanity has nothing - absolutely nothing - to do with Hindu religion. It is human evil that is the cause. People from various religions may use “religion” as a cloak to do evil. Actual religious Hindus with even a modicum of understanding or sincerity would never consider this vicious and unnatural cruelty.
I know......witness the (presumably) Muslim village elder and his sons saving the life of a hapless Israeli from the hands of a Palestinian lynch mob. Religion was irrelevant to this brave man, and his sons; what mattered to him was that another persons life was in danger, and he wouldn’t stand by passively and just watch.
Its not religion. Its culture. In this case, Indian culture prefers male offspring, mostly for economic reasons. But you’d think that it’d occur to someone that a catastrophic gender imbalance is about 20 years over the horizon.
