In 2009 Pooja Chopra was crowned “Miss India World.” When Pooja was 20 days old, her father gave her mother a choice:either kill the child or leave the marriage! One day, when her father tried to suffocate her by putting a pillow on her face, her mother finally decided to leave. The truth is, that Pooja Chopra could have been one of the millions of little girls who are killed after birth in India, simply because they were born as girls! She lived because her mother Neera Chopra refused to give in to the pressure to kill her, and chose instead to endure tremendous hardship to protect and raise her daughters. Most assume, it is poverty and illiteracy that compels parents in India to kill their girl babies. But that is a fallacy! In fact the only strata in India where the gender ratio is normal is in the poorest 20%. The more wealth a family has the more likely they are to get rid of girls!
