Patriotism is not something which needs to be proved on blogs or twitter.If you think poverty or rape has nothing to do with sex ratio of a country then the joke is on you.A valid argument(fact)was made,it was rubbished by "patriotic" people and I showed my patriotism.Sarcasm?

PS- the HN account is just new but I've been long time visitor and referring India as "it" respectful?

no one is saying that there are no other issues in India. However - none of what you're bringing up has to do with increased life expectancy. I'd accept this argument if it was 70 year olds going out and raping. That said - I do wish that rapists weren't born or suffered infant mortality- but then again - I'm sure there were things that went wrong in their lives that made them be as screwed up as they turned out.
