INDIAN NEW GENERATION ADOPPTING WESTREAN CULTURE
By: Surjit Singh Flora An Indian wife faces
pressure to bless her family with a precious son, “a woman’s position in her
husband’s home is not consolidated unless she produces at least one son”. India has a long history of the subordinate position of women as a result of a culture and tradition .Abort females in hope that in their next attempt they will be blessed with a son that can carry on the families name and heritage. The Indian way of life encourages: sati, where a widow commits suicide at her husband’s funeral; arranged marriages and dowry system, where girls have no say on who they marry? A woman in India is known to first be a daughter to her father, then a sister to her brother, then a wife to her husband, then a mother to her son, then a widow to her dead husband. In every role she plays she is always at the mercy of a male.
If we go back in Indian History legalization of
abortion first time took place in India in 1973 with the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act. Similar to the United States where new reforms were created because of the large number of illegal abortions, India’s laws were initiated because of constant rebellion against criminal law. India’s government believed that by liberalizing abortion laws the number of criminal offenses as a result of abortion would decrease. India’s government failed to consider that, “up to 50 million girls were missing from India’s population as a result of systematic gender discrimination in India” most of which abortion was responsible.
Women in India were therefore not educated as they should have been about birth control and abortion. Additionally, the lack of education prevented women from unifying. Statistics show that the termination of daughters is fifty percent higher as a result of mothers with no education.
As a result, the government put a ban on the use of amniocentesis and made pre-natal sex determination for the purpose of abortion a penal offence. The outlawing of gender determining technology brought about private, illegal canters for amniocentesis in order to cater to a society reliant on male heirs. “
But, in God’s judgment against the killing of an innocent life grows out of His love for humankind. The crime of murder is not only an offence against the sanctity of life, To destroy innocent human life is a crime against God, Every 5 seconds another baby is aborted in this world, yet very few seem to notice. Statistically, one out of every three of us will die by against, and we will never know what we lost in those lives. The world goes along its way leaving lawmakers to decide how the carnage should continue.
It is sad and very true. Instead of being proud of their traditions and values, Indians are shamelessly aping the west. We thought that children growing up in India would have a better chance of understanding their Culture and roots but now I feel that it does not matter if they grow up in India or the west. They have let go of everything and they just want to imitate the westerners in every aspect.
Talking about abortion in South Asian Community it was biggest issue, But, now as new generation adopting western culture, an India these days new generation go out have a fun, enjoy together, entertainment together, have a sex, in accidentally if girl gets pregnant before married it''s bad for the family, family always try to hid them self from others, kind of it''s really shameful for the family.
Some cases girls’ suicide if she got pregnant. But now they just keep quite and walk into any clinic ask for abortion.
But, in western culture totally it’s other way around girls always looking for chance to get pregnant so they can claim money from the guy. How wrong is that? Girls and boys living together have kids, they never been married. But our culture is like that.
They do it behind the Sean abortion to hide what the shameful thing they have done.
