Charu · Accepted Answer

Indian principle of Secularism is not absolute, government in
this case will surely interfere to ban the practise of infanticide
since it is discriminatory and unjust
For the purpose of reforming religion , government intervenes to
ban practice of such beliefs which go against the very idea of
fundamental right to life and dignity Government has done it before
as in case of abolishing sati, untouchability for the purpose of
reforming Hindu religion
The Government also provides for maternity benefits to all and most
importantly, sex determination test a legal offence under the pre
natal diagnostic law and provides for stringent punishment to those
involved Such is an effort on part of the government to check
growing cases of female infanticide
