Daughters are our pride commercial

Advertising against selective female abortion (foeticide) in India.
Even today Indian women go to the temple to pray to have sons and not daughters. It is a dramatic situation; by sticking to their tradition, goverment initiatives don't accomplish much.

Subtitles in english:
- I've had a ultrasound and I found out that I'm expecting a girl. Maybe it would be best not to let her to be born and come to this world... ...
- Stop it! I won't let this happen! It is innocent and it has the right to live!
- You're right. It can't talk. The choice is ours.
- It would be a crime against humanity if we 'd act differently.

put your blame of those selfish bastards and men that oppressed WOMEN....the society failed to see wat hinduism had to say but were busy following the selfish assholes

[mayurdesai1313]

Dude its not the religion which forces people to commit murder of unborn girls. Its the culture and its not particular about a religion in India. Its across all states and religions. And you are right, it cannot be fought down only by this.

[mardimitriou]

This spot is a good effort but the way Hindu religion sees women cannot be fought down by this.
