Since many reasons have been speculated in this thread about the real cause of this baby being killed - here are the real reasons from the news tab :

... mother had an illigetimate child and was 3 months pregnant when she got married to another person after the real father was not interested in marrying...

How come word of mouth/word on the street hasn’t been enough to find the culprits?

So apparently they’ve named him Mrityunjaya (maybe that means ‘victorious over death’?) and he’s still recovering but doing better. Many families have offered to adopt him, and he will eventually go to one of them.

well it could be some kinda sacrifice you know. There are still people who believe that if you sacrifice your first born MALE child, you get like a blank cheque from god. There was a case in delhi couple years back, but sadly that baby dint survive the horrors it was subjected to.

To make sure we have a steady stream of depressing news, here's one about prostitution that made Digg's front page: Sex workers chronicle life in Indian brothels

How would you know if someone one this board had been abused or not. Abuse is not something that victims wear on their sleeves. Chances are that some people on this board have indeed been victims of some type of abuse at some point in their lives.

I hope you understand what 53% means. It mean more than 1 in 2 people in India are abused. If that was real than either India is a society of monsters or the data is full of shit. I am amazed at people's ignorance in basic arithmetic.

I told my mum about the story (when first posted), and after getting over the shock of the violent nature, she said, back in the day, through the villages of Punjab, families would drop their female infants from the roof. If she died, their job was done, but if she survived, she was a "kismet-wali" and therefore was lucky and would bring good fortune.

THIS IS PATIAAAALAAAA!

what i appreciate most is the title of this post.

Amen to that. I surprised myself by reaching my hand out to touch his picture on my screen.

I hope that this innocent child recovers and am heartened by the outpouring of support from people that want to adopt him. It was my first thought before I even got to that point in the writeup.

As for the "people" that put him in this position in the first place, they will pay one day, if they haven't already.
