&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Hindus have the highest number of missing girls attributable to female foeticide in India, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/08/23/indias-sex-ratio-at-birth-begins-to-normalize/&quot;&gt;new research report&lt;/a&gt; prepared by the Pew Research Centre has revealed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The researchers got their data from the last three rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS), including the fifth and latest one (2019-2020). The NFHS is conducted by the Union government.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Pew Centre is a Washington-based nonprofit that undertakes research on, among other topics, demographics. The team that put together the current report comprised four people: associate director and demographer Conrad Hackett; researchers Stephanie Kramer and Anne Fengyan Shi; and director of religion research Alan Cooperman.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to their analysis, at least 9 million girls are &amp;lsquo;missing&amp;rsquo; in India as a result of female infanticide from 2000 to 2019. To compare, this is slightly lower than the entire population of Uttarakhand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India banned prenatal sex-determination testing in the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act 1994. The clandestine use of ultrasound facilities for this purpose continues, however, as do sex-selective abortions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;As India&amp;rsquo;s largest religious group, Hindus make up 79.8% of India&amp;rsquo;s total population and account for a disproportionate share, 86.7%, of the missing female births,&amp;rdquo; the report reads.&lt;/p&gt;

Foeticide: More ‘Missing’ Girls Among Hindus Than Muslims in Last Two Decades, Official Data Shows -Banjot Kaur

-TheWire.in Researchers have used government data to find that nine million girls went ‘missing’ in 20 years in India. New Delhi: Hindus have the highest number of missing girls attributable to female foeticide in India, a new research report prepared by the Pew Research Centre has revealed. The researchers got their data from the last three rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS), including the fifth and latest one (2019-2020). The NFHS is conducted by the Union government. The Pew Centre is a Washington-based nonprofit that undertakes research on, among other topics, demographics. The team that put together the current report comprised four people: associate director and demographer Conrad Hackett; researchers Stephanie Kramer and Anne Fengyan Shi; and director of religion research Alan Cooperman. According to their analysis, at least 9 million girls are ‘missing’ in India as a result of female infanticide from 2000 to 2019. To compare, this is slightly lower than the entire population of Uttarakhand. India banned prenatal sex-determination testing in the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act 1994. The clandestine use of ultrasound facilities for this purpose continues, however, as do sex-selective abortions. “As India’s largest religious group, Hindus make up 79.8% of India’s total population and account for a disproportionate share, 86.7%, of the missing female births,” the report reads.
