11. How did all this begin ? Amniocentesis test by AIIMS for genetic diagnosis a break thru in India 1980’s Tests were soon commercially available Test abuse started for sex determination and for diagnosis of female fetus A lot of hue and cry was made by NGO’S and altered sex ratio was detected in the census 1990 Govt committee, law drafted as pndt act, law modified as pcpndt act…a lot of time taken for gazette notifications in states Many clerical and administrative and forms to be filled The punishment to DOCTOR was same for mistake in form filling and actual sex determination A lot of misunderstanding and misinterpretation of law by law enforcing agencies A lot of harrassment and no or very few people actually caught for the crime( most cases for not filling forms correctly) Many NGO’s like CEHAT and others in court as PIL’S GOVT AND FOGSI AND IRIA NOW TAKING TO SIMPLIFY THE REPORTING AND TO DEAL WITH THE ACTUAL CRIME

12. PC PNDT ACT A law was passed in 1994 prohibiting tests that reveal the gender of a fetus prenatally and abortions on the basis of fetal sex are also illegal but the laws are not well enforced.

22. Daughters Are Precious Episode 01: Female Foeticide In this episode Aamir talks about the killing of unborn girls, or female foeticide , an alarming and frightening reality. It involves the collusion of families, doctors and a social structure that encourages the desire for a boy child - at any cost. The result has been the death of over 3 crore unborn girls since independence and a generation of young men, many amongst whom will find it very tough to get a life partner.

23. Today we all doctors (FOGSI & IRIA & IFUMB) WE UNDERSTAND THAT IF THE SERVICE PROVIDER SAYS NO….THEN IT WILL BE A NO WE KNOW SOME OF OUR CLAN ARE STILL INDULGING IN THIS WE HAVE POINTED OUT THAT MAJORITY OF SUCH PRACTICE IS BEING DONE BY NON MEDICAL QUACKS AND SO IS THE ABORTIONS WE UNDERSTAND IT’S A SOCIAL PROBLEM AND A SOCIAL REVOLUTION HAS TO BE STARTED AGAINT THIS THE GOVT SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE OBJECTIVE & ETHOS OF THE LAW AND NOT THE FORM FILLINGS ONLY,BRINGING TECHNICALITY THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE LAW HAS BEEN DEFEATED
