Badaun Incident
Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a horrific incident in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, where a man used a sickle to cut open his pregnant wife's stomach to determine the gender of their sixth child. He argues that society only recognizes violence when it becomes physically grotesque or spectacular, failing to see that violence had already permeated the lives of this family long before this event. He points out that the birth of five daughters under a father who harbors such hatred for females must have involved constant daily suffering and systemic cruelty that went unnoticed because it did not make the headlines. He highlights the alarming demographic reality in India, noting that approximately fifty million women are missing from the population compared to men. He describes this as a continuous process of genocide that is often ignored by political parties, media, and society at large. Acharya Prashant explains that while laws against prenatal sex determination exist, they have driven the practice into unregulated, unsafe, and informal settings, leading to further health risks for women. He observes that in a vast majority of Indian households, the youngest child is a boy, which statistically proves the prevalence of selective birth practices. He criticizes the lack of individual discretion and wisdom in choosing life partners, suggesting that many marriages are essentially forced bonds where women lack the agency to protect themselves. He notes that women often become the biggest supporters of the very patriarchal structures and superstitions that oppress them. He emphasizes that true change cannot wait for government policies or social reforms alone; instead, every individual, especially women, must cultivate their own intelligence and spiritual understanding to break free from these cycles of violence and exploitation.
