[QUOTE="whipassmt"] that could be the case, I think the female birth rate, at least in some areas of India is somewhat lower than the male birth rate, due mainly to sex-selective abortions (i.e. if the ultrasound shows a son he gets to live, if the ultrasound shows a daughter she is more likely to be aborted). China is similar in this regard, but even worse because of the one chilld policy.
a lot of Indian families prefer males because traditionally the daughter's family has to pay a significant dowry when the daughter is married. I think the sex-selection abortion rate is lower in parts of India that are more Muslim or Christian than in the most heavily Hindu areas, partially because the dowry tradition isn't as strong there, and partially because Christianity and Islam are opposed to abortion.

This is true. Its rare for me to say something good a bout Islam but their beliefs have not caused the troubling gender imbalance both India and China face. There are 22 million more boys than girls under 15 in India and 17 million in China. To put that in perspective there are only 37 million girls in the entire EU and 31 million in the US in total under the age of 15, that's not in deficit but in total. That's how big the deficit is in those nations. Numbers are in the link below, click on the relevant nation to find relevant numbers.
So the imbalance is actually bigger in India than China? As far as Islam goes I think women in Arabia where better off after that area became Muslim than they were in the pagan days, because Islam limited the husband's ability to abandon a wife and banned infanticide. A lot of the Taliban practices like keeping women in the house or covering them so much I think were things that were derived from the culture of the India, Pakistan area rather than being actual Muslim beliefs. You people know absolutely nothing about India.Where the hell is Indz when you need him? On topic though dressing modestly and covering is prevalent not just in muslim community in India but also in hindu communities.People used to cover up long before Islam came to India.An example of this is the Marwari community of Rajasthan in which women to this day veil themselves.
I won't deny that such cases happen in India but generalizing the entire country as rapists and degenerates just show's how little you people know of India.In every country there are scumbags who treat women as objects.If you truly want to know about India visit bangalore,mumbai or chennai and see the truth.
