The civilised western world MUST boycott Hindu India's savage people. a.s.a.p
Read the article below:

-----------

SALEM, India (CNN) -- Fifteen hours after a baby girl was buried alive by her father in central India, police managed to pull her out -- and she was still alive.

Police say the baby survived because she had been buried among stones and there was enough space for her to breathe.

Every year, thousands of baby girls in India are murdered by their own parents.

Sociologists blame such killings on a widely held Indian belief that girls are an economic drain because families still have to pay expensive dowries at the time of their marriage.

Authorities have said that over the past few years, more than 4,500 female babies in India's southern Salem district alone have been killed -- by their own parents.

Type in muslim and dalit discrimination in google news you will get a princeton study confirming the above trends.

Seems like Nehru's secular democracy has not been relised.

Minorities face discrimination: studyPublished: Tuesday, 30 October, 2007, 08:07 AM Doha Time

NEW DELHI: India’s Muslims and low-caste Hindus have a harder time landing jobs and die younger than high-caste Hindus, even when they have similar educations and incomes, new studies have found.
A Dalit, a member of a low caste formerly known as “untouchable,” was about two-thirds as likely as a similarly qualified high-caste Hindu to get a positive response to a written job application, a Princeton University study found.
A Muslim was only a third as likely to hear back, showed the study, which sent out about 5,000 applications for almost 600 jobs from fake candidates with identical qualifications but identifiable group names.
“This study has been done for the first time in India,” researcher and Indian Institute of Dalit Studies fellow Firdaus F Rizvi said yesterday, adding it was based on similar work on racial discrimination in the US.
Rizvi carried out the 66-week study with economics professor Sukhadeo Thorat, who heads India’s public university regulatory body, and City University of New York sociology professor Paul Attewell.
“Minorities were very discriminated against,” said Rizvi, adding that the study found discrimination at the beginning of a job search.
Out of 179 responses to applications for jobs requiring a masters degree, 55 went to high-caste Hindus, 46 to Dalits and 32 to the Muslim candidates, while 46 also went to a wild-card candidate, a high-caste Hindu with a bachelor’s degree.
In a job search requiring a bachelor degree, 93 responses went to Hindus, 75 to Dalits, 53 to Muslims, while 73 went to the overqualified candidate — a Dalit with a masters.
In another of the four Princeton-funded studies on labour discrimination, two professors examined the employment expectations and job search experiences of high-caste Hindus and Dalits.
Postgraduate students in the Indian capital were more likely to be confident of employment in private corporations if they were upper caste Hindus, the researchers found.
“There’s been a lot of work on rural discrimination. The idea is that urban labour markets are anonymous and based on merit. We believe corporations look at things other than merit as well,” Delhi University economics professor Ashwini Deshpande said on Sunday.
“This is path-breaking research. It is using methods that were developed in the US and regarded as cutting edge in terms of studies of discrimination.”
Low caste Hindus reported being asked more intrusive personal questions about family backgrounds or about India’s public education and employment affirmative action programme, known as reservations.
Deshpande said she was not surprised that “the outcomes are highly influenced by what caste identity you have.”
“What was surprising to me were some of the interview questions,” said Deshpande, who has been working on the ongoing research project with Princeton University sociology professor Katherine Newman since 2005.
“It’s a way of saying, ‘We know exactly what you belong to. You guys are here only because of reservations.’”
The four studies were published in an Indian social sciences journal this month and discussed at a weekend conference in New Delhi along with other findings on social discrimination. – AFP

Maybe the Indians are worried about 'Mumbaistan' forming!!

But the North Indian Krishna worshippers are typically very hostile against other religions and are pro female foeticide!

Hi,
I have faced similar problem in Pune city thought to be the Education center of the Western Maharashtra. The property dealers told me that Hindu landlords will not rent the home to you. Look for muslim landlords.
I have to find out Muslim Landlord at the end. This is very frustration.
