N interviews Gita Aravamudan, author of Disappearing Daughters: The Tragedy of Female Foeticide.
“Media can play a very proactive role. The more this problem is emphasized and exposed, the more people will be aware of it. It has to be a multi-pronged attack from the print media, television and cinema. Cinema has a very strong impact on society. If only cinema and television could address this issue and talk about the value of the girl child! What we need is a popular attack. Academics and intellectuals are aware of it and many papers have been written about it but all this has had no impact. The thrust has to come from somewhere else. It has to come in a language that people can understand.”
