Unchaahi is a new group blog that aims to be a ‘voice against Female Genocide (a result of sex-selective abortions, and murders of female infants also known as female infanticide) focused specifically in the Indian Subcontinent.’ An excerpt from a recent post (on Ekta Kapoor soaps) by Roop Rai, one of the contributors:

I wondered then, and I still wonder. How could I accept seeing women characters being applauded for sacrificing their happiness and lives for the sake of others especially for purposes like saving a marriage? An institution which both a man and a woman are meant to uphold equally. Why did I not feel any anguish when I saw Saloni spending her days in a puja ghar (worship room) praying for her suhaag (marital bliss = husband) for without her suhaag, her life held no meaning? What had I become?
