Are we a nation of hypocrites

We definitely are a nation of hypocrites , it can be seen in everyday happenings and the attitude of people who openly show their preferences. It is a male dominated society and women in my opinion are the worst enemies of other women ...most of these customs and traditions get passed on by the women members as in feudal societies which are still very powerful in the smaller cities and villages!

I will not say the whole nation but yes some of us sure hypocrities. We should not blame all.

I agree in toto. The Indian society including Hindu is hypocrite. Boys are desired. I often heard people saying that they got a 'decree' when a girl child is born. A 'boy' is an asset and welcomed but girl is a liability and 'paraya dhan'.

I don't know why anyone should clamor for a son. We may hope for a child- male or female- a matter of chance. We need both equally.

Illiterate or some people of rural areas may think so, but now there is no difference between a girl or boy.

Why only blame illiterate and rural people??? You think the situation is better in town and cities? It makes no difference whether a person is from urban or rural, literate or illiterate, generally people prefer male child.

Actually country is good but some people living in India are not good. They don't respect females.

In fact I find the villagers quite gullible and even if they are backward and superstitious one can only feel sorry because of the lack of education and exposure.But in cities where people get everything they want, hypocrisy is at its worst, everyone is out to outsmart the other..
