Acharya Prashant addresses a question about how to protect Hindu daughters. He acknowledges that the question is legitimate as daughters in India, especially Hindu daughters, are indeed in danger. However, he states that his duty is to reveal the true source of this danger, which is different from what is commonly perceived through social media and movies. He explains that the real danger is not what is shown in WhatsApp forwards or films, but something far more sinister happening within the society. The speaker presents the staggering statistic that over one crore girls have gone "missing" in India in the last 20 years, a figure based on government census data. This amounts to five lakh girls per year, or 57 per hour. He emphasizes the magnitude of this loss by comparing it to the entire population of countries like Nepal. He asserts that this danger comes from within the Hindu society itself—from the families and parents. He provides data indicating that female foeticide is more prevalent among the educated, the upper and middle classes, the so-called upper castes, and urban populations, particularly in North and West India. Acharya Prashant further analyzes the sex ratio at birth, which worsens with the second child but improves with subsequent children. This pattern, he explains, shows that families continue to have children until a son is born, often aborting female fetuses in the process. This is driven by the cultural view of daughters as a burden or someone else's property ("paraya dhan") and the practice of dowry. He also cites India's dismal ranking in the Global Gender Gap Index, especially in "Health and Survival" where it is ranked 146th out of 146 countries, and in economic participation where it is 143rd. He also mentions that according to NCRB data, 96% of sexual abusers of minors are relatives or family friends. The speaker concludes that the problem is ancient, pointing to the Female Infanticide Prevention Act of 1870 enacted by the British. He argues that the issue is not merely social but deeply spiritual, and its solution lies in a spiritual awakening rather than superficial campaigns. He highlights the hypocrisy of a society that claims to worship women but perpetrates such violence against them. The real threat to Hindu daughters, he reiterates, is from their own homes and the prevailing cultural and patriarchal norms.
