First things first. Whenever you have time, do visit this blog: Unchaahi. It’s a relatively new blog campaigning against female foeticide (and infanticide) and Roop Rai (the blog owner) seems to be really serious about it. For all we know, this may eventually turn out to be a great campaign in the future. The least we can do is to be aware of how the female sex is being systematically eliminated in India. I wish you all the best in your campaign, Roop!
OK, now let’s get back to the animated film the headline of this post talks about. This film has been made by Mr. Hardeep Singh of the Pumpkin Academy of Digital Arts. It is arguably the first animated film on female foeticide. I came to see this film on Roop’s blog here.
And the same video has been embedded below.
It’s heart-rending
I wonder how anyone can have the heart to commit such a heinous crime as female foeticide. I for one, can at the most kill a mosquito. You give me anything bigger than that, and I can’t do it. Against this backdrop, I have heard that in a few villages, newly born female babies are drowned in a cauldron of milk. Savages!
And yes, you guys may also like to see this video. Unchaahi: An Introduction.
