Of late, I have been witnessing a very disturbing increase in the crime against females, be a girl child, a teenager, or an adult woman. It has almost become the order of the day. Newspapers are replete with such news. No doubt, India has been placed at parity with Afghanistan as the worst countries for a female to born in. Sometimes, I guess, had it been there in the past too but very less reported?.. or the mind set of the Indian male is becoming less human, devoid of any compassion and respect for the other gender, and is also becoming fearless of the Indian Law!
So, I fancied an idea to let the world know the dark side of "Being a Female in India."
Let there be the consciences shaken, people of all walks do some soul searching..take a pause and raise their voice, wherever they are, against the atrocities being meted out to girls and women, with a result that cruelity against the female gender starts receding, and we give to our generations to come a society where a woman is respected in its true essence-as as wife, as a sister, as a mother, as a grand mother et al..is the sole objective of this blog.
Amen.

New born baby found abandoned at Coimbatore Medical College Hospital TNN | Jul 16, 2012, 12.25AM IST


COIMBATORE: A new-born baby girl was found abandoned at Coimbatore Medical College Hospital on Sunday after her mother left the hospital without informing the authorities. As per the hospital records, the child was born to Selvi, daughter of Perumal Sami of Iyampalayam, near Somanur in Coimbatore.
According to the police, the child was born on July 12 in a private hospital.
Selvi had a premature delivery and the child was underweight. Since the baby was in critical condition and the hospital didn't have proper facility for treatment, the baby was referred to Coimbatore Medical College Hospital. Selvi was admitted to the CMCH with her baby on July 14.
Since the child was much below the required weight, baby was kept in an incubator at CMCH for observation. On Sunday, the mother and her family let the hospital pretending that they are just going out for some needs, but never returned.
The police are now trying to trace the mother and another woman who was present at the hospital as bystander. We are not sure that the address given at the hospital is correct or not. We are investigating the case, the police said.
A senior doctor at the hospital said this was the third such incident this year in CMCH where mothers abandon their children. At least eight such cases were registered last year.
In such cases after registering complaints with social welfare department and police the child will be handed over to orphanages or child care centres.
It has been noticed that most of who abandon their children at hospital are from poor families.
