Some data here: http://www.indiatogether.org/2011/apr/hlt-sexratio.htm The child sex ratio (ie., the number of females to every 1000 males in the age group 0-6 years) ranges from 830 for Haryana, to 971 for Mizoram. I find it instructive that the 3 states with the highest child sex ratios are Andaman & Nicobar, Meghalaya and Mizoram. Udhay -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))
