Abstract

Indian demography (population statistics) never shows the balance in last hundred years between male and female population. The increasing need for son increases the numerical difference between two sex. Such imbalance was continuously found in the census report from undivided India 1901 to last census 2011. The gender inequality in India not only changes the social status of the woman but also built a very negative view of the female. Various states in India have very low sex-ratio. Internationally, the death rate of India female child is 75% higher than the male child in India. Women literacy rate is also very poor, even it is below than the average literacy rate of India.
