SOME ONE HAS MARRIED TO SOME ONE OF HIS/HER CHOICE, HUSBAND AND WIFE HAVE GOOD
TUNING, THEY ARE HAPPY AND WELL-TO-DO FAMILY AND IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES IF WIFE IS
PREGNANT HOW HAPPY AND JOYOUS WILL BE THE FAMILY?

IS THERE ANY WOMAN IN THE WORLD, WHO IS NOT PREPARED TO BE THE MOTHER IRRESCPECTIVE OF
ALL THE FAVOURABLE CIRCUMSTANCES?

NO ONE CAN BELIVE THIS. BUT IT IS THE FACT.

IN SOUTH INDIA, IN THE STATE OF KERALA, WHICH IS KNOWN AS GOD PLACE, A DISTRICT KNOWN AS
KASARGODE WHERE TEN OUT OF TEN PREGNANT WOMEN VISIT THE CITY OF MANGALORE,
NEIGHBOURING STATE OF KARNATAKA , AND GET ABORTED WITH OWN EXPENCES, IRRESPECTIVE OF
THE GENDER OF THE FOETUS, I.E. MALE OR FEMALE. THOUGH GOVERNMENT OF INDIA HAS BANNED
THE EXAMINATION OF THE FOETUS, THE PRACTICE OF KNOWING THE GENTER OF THE FOETUS IS STILL
GOING ON. PEOPLE PREFER MALE FOETUS TO FEMALE.

BUT, NOT A SINGLE WOMAN OF THE DISTRICT IS INTERESTED TO BE THE MOTHER.

THE REASON FOR THAT IS IF THEY ARE PREGNANT AND IF THEY GIVE BIRTH TO THE CHILD, THE BORN
CHILD IS BORN WITH HIROSHIMA SYNDROME.

THE CHILDREN BORN ARE DEFECTIVE, MENTALY RETARDED.

THE POPULATION OF KASARGODE (KERALA, SOUTH INDIA) DISTRICT ARE FACING THE PROBLEM OF
SOCIAL BOYCOT. NO MAN (OUT SIDE OF THIS DISTRICT) IS PREPARED TO MARRY THE WOMAN OF THIS
DISTRICT. NO WOMAN (OUT SIDE OF THIS DISTRICT) IS PREPARED TO MARRY THE MAN OF THIS
DISTRICT.

NO ONE IS VISITING THIS PLACE. ONLY SCIENTISTS, RESEARCHERS, GOVERNMENT OFFICERS, MEDIA
PERSONS AND NON GOVERNMENT ORGANISATIONS ARE THE ONLY OCCASIONAL VISITORS TO THIS
DISTRICT.

THOSE WHO VISIT THIS DISTRICT MAKE THEIR OWN ARRANGEMENT OF THEIR OWN.

THE REASON FOR THE HIROSHIMA SYNDROME IS USE OF ENDOSULPHANE ʹ A PESTICIDE TO TAKE MORE
YIELD OF THE CASHEW.

MOST OF THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD HAVE BANNED THE SAME. ITS USE UPSETS THE CYCLE OF LIFE
AND IT CREATS DEFETCS IN LIVE WORLD.

FROM 1976 TO 2000 ONLY IN KERALA ABOUT 50,000 FAMILIES ARE AFFECTED OF THIS PESTICIDE.

NUMBER OF N.G.O.S HAVE REQUESTED THE STATE (KERALA) AND UNION (GOVT. OF INDIA)
GOVERNMENT TO BAN THE PESTICIDE WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS.
THE CASHEW LOBBY IS SO POWERFUL THAT NEITHER STATE NOR THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT IS
PREPARED TO DISTURB THEM.

THE MOST TERRIFYING THING IS THAT ALLTHE PLANTATION IS OWNED BY THE PLANTATION
CORPORATION OF KERALA, OWNED BY KERALA GOVERNMENT.

IN 1970s, PEOPLE CAME TO KNOW ABOUT THE DRASTIC EFFECT OF THE PESTICIDE ON MANKIND. SINCE
THAN THE EFFORTS ARE GOING ON TO BAN THE PESTICIDE BUT IN VAIN.
