I don't get the title. Looks like a catch 22 - my students are reading that
novel (atleast a few have to). maybe you mean why she focused only on girl
child.

Is it ok not to want a girl child? Union Minister of State for Women and
Child Development (Independent Charge), Renuka Chowdhury recently announced a
palna scheme for the girl child. "We want to put a cradle, or palna, in every
district headquarters. What we are saying to people is, have your children,
don't kill them. And if you don't want a girl child, leave her to us,"
Chowdhury said. The government will bear the expenses of bringing up these
girls. The palna scheme will be introduced in the upcoming 11th Five-Year Plan
(2007-2011) in coordination with state governments. "This is part of our
ministry's Integrated Child Development Scheme," an official said, adding that
the proposal had been submitted to the Planning Commission.
