what ever the reason is, it is totally unfair and unacceptable.

Because many traditional Indians are super-sexist and believe girls are a waste of time and money and are basically worthless.
The attitude is changing in some circles, but overall, India has a huge problem with women aborting girl fetuses and having boys instead. India's male population is actually higher than its female population, which is unlike the population ratios in any normal society.
It's a problem, for sure. Hope they get over that idea!

Wake up... Open your eyes... see the world. In early days, girls were called Lakshmi - The Goddess of wealth in India.
30 years of my age, making visit all around plenty of states in India, co-ordinating with almost all the classes of the Indian society - the rich, the poor, and the middle class; I never saw any family mourn over the fact that they have a girl child...
The birth of a child, girl or a boy, is celebrated equally with the very same rituals and very same excitement.
It's only a matter of what is highlighted in society. In India the the wrongs are highlighted and discussed more that the rights. And people assume that what is being discussed more, is the actual picture....

Not only in India, but in many other countries, this grave prejudice from patriarchal dominion shamefully exists. Wishing that the mature humanity learn to see the greatness and beauty of gender equality and make radical change for our civilized world.
