@ 92slim: I've restored some of the material you removed because it does explicitly refer to infanticide, even if it also talks about abortion. Please be careful not to remove relevant material in the course of removing material that may be irrelevant. – Roscelese ( talk ⋅ contribs) 01:20, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
The Indian practice of female infanticide and of sex-selective abortion have been cited to explain in part a gender imbalance that has been reported as being increasingly distorted since the 1991 Census of India, ...Sure, it mentions abortion but it mentions it in an entirely valid context. We cannot, for example, omit it and thus lead the reader to think that it has been cited as being entirely down to female infanticide. Your removals also screwed up some citations, leaving either cites or sources orphaned. As Roscelese says above, you need to take more care. - Sitush ( talk) 17:16, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

The article is very detailed and has a really good break down in statistics and no spelling or grammatical errors. The religious demographics table giving a break down to the different religions in terms of the ratio to females to males is really good. Nia Dokes ( talk) 01:38, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
