How much responsibility do mothers who kill their daughters need to take for their actions in India?



hello friends,



The latest post on Gender Bytes is in reflection of the recent murder of a new born baby girl by her mother in a hospital in Mumbai. She had twins -- a boy and a girl, and she kept the boy but threw the girl out of the window.



Most of the female infanticides in India are committed by women -- the mother, grandmothers, midwives.



Are they criminals? Or victims of a system that teaches them to hate girls. It's dicussed here in this blog. Do share your feedback.
