Indian premier calls for end to killing of unborn girls
Aug 15 1:07 PM US/Eastern
 Email this story    

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called on parents in India to stop seeing girls as an economic liability and to end the practice of killing unborn female foetuses.

Singh's appeal on India's 59th Independence Day came four days after the grisly discovery of 25 female foetuses from a private clinic in northern Punjab state, which has the country's lowest sex ratio due to rampant female foeticide.

Does anyone have any information on the human capital flight of India?  As I've been told by someone from India, you either study science or economics, possibly business.  These individuals eventually leave the country for undergrad or graduate studies.  How many actually return?  If the number is rather low, I don't know how anyone can expect these numbers to improve anytime soon.
