Inderjeet Kaur ji I did not make a statement on behalf of a Sikh community towards another community. Your proverb would have applied in that case. I made statements of my thoughts.

At a personal level these are all reprehensible and I have so stated whenever there was an occasion. I would be shocked to learn that somehow Sikhism or Punjabi culture rejoices in killing female children. Sikhs do not rejoice death. The stupid families that practice or participate in such need to have strong communal and religious rebuke. Such need to be called criminal murderers in the first degree that kill unborn or just born girls. They should be exposed and punished to the full extent allowed.

q. The following individuals shall be liable to chastisement involving automatic boycott:
1. Anyone maintaining relations or communion with elements antagonistic to the Panth including ....... or killers of female infants

It is time to put some of this to practical use. Let there be a list of people who carry this out or support this in the system of sex based abortions or killing after live birth.

Sat Sri Akal.

PS: I do believe that rejoicing in death as to sacrifice in this thread or killing of non-Muslims by Muslims as though such to be no better than animals go to even deeper level of rottenness in human society and culture. This belief I still hold and I do understand when you say dead is dead.

My remark was in no way aimed at you personally, rather at all of us - including myself - who are so horrified at this human sacrifice while the killing of our daughters continues unabated in our own community. I felt slightly hypocritical myself, even though I often bring up this subject in discussions.

I agree that we ought to boycott those who kill their daughters. The problem is that no one will admit to it.

Inderjeet Kaur ji this has been raised a few different times.

Why look for people to admit! It is the long road to nowhere with corruption in India for sure.

The answer lies first of all with all mothers, sisters, grandmothers, mother-in-laws, aunts and all females, to see that this horrendous demeaning of females is exposed. The Government could start an anonymous tip line. Almost all/some family and friends usually find out and we need people of courage to speak up till it becomes a disgraceful taboo that no one dares to. You don't need any admissions.

Sat Sri Akal.
