Mr. Nunes, Thanks for the PLoS One paper, and for this good discussion. Please note that the discrepancy in the sex ratio numbers is because of the difference in the exact type of measurement, as I had implied earlier - sex ratio in the entire population according to the 2001 census, which is w

Dr. Helekar,    I am skeptical of your referenced sex ratio of India (1.08) and  (China (1.21).   Governments are known to skew embarrassing census data by under- or misreporting statistics, or misclassifying.   After all female - infanticide and feticide - are morally repu

Sane and rational Goanetters would have learned to ignore crackpot nascimental nonsense by now. But let me point out that as far as both female infanticide and female foeticide are concerned, China is worse than India. The immoral policies of its communist government have caused the male to fema
