I am not a saudi. India is a diverse nation, 1 out of 5 humans are indian, it is silly to have any strong generalized opinions for or against india as a whole without paying attnetion to the nuances of each indian state and socio-political complexities. I have no vested interest either way personally, you shouldn't assume my intent. People do thay too often these days on HN, last week someone accused me of working for apple when I defended a whistleblower lol. > I don't see them as academics, but rather propagandists. I am wondering what exactly does this study achieve? What kind of a propaganda has no goal? For you to claim it is propaganda you must at least show what they have to gain by it. You must dissect the facts fist and only if the evidence leads you to that direction should you make conclusions about people's intent. Unless of course you yourself are acting out of bias. To me, I don't really care who did the study. India is not special in prefering boys over girls, I don't see any stereotypes being propagated. Any populous country where men have a better chance at becoming bread winners is like this. Things continue to improve for india, if this study is garbage then discard it. If there is merit to it them use this as an opportunity to make the lives of Indians better. I personally have great hopes for india, I think the nation has a better chance of dominating the 21st century than China does, mostly because it is not a hostile nation to the rest of the world like China or even the US. India is the one nation I am rooting for. But whatever the country is, I dislike it when people are so defensive about it. I get the same sentiment in the US, "if you don't like it, leave." , yeah... I know I can leave, I chose to stay and change things for the better. You criticize what you like and ignore what you despise. It's actually a bigger problem I encounter in many other areas as well, people considering a criticism of a situation as some political move instead of an attempt to correct and fix a problem.
