Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, grade: -, Doon University, language: English, abstract: Evidences show that many states in our country have shown wide variations in the gender balance. Throughout its long history, India experiences wide variety of cultures and traditions. However, it is unfortunate that this transitional phase led to creation of a culture where women are treated inferior to men. Also, it has been seen that the ideology and perception further differs on the basis of geographical areas too. On one hand, in a matriarchal society under southern parts, women are treated as leaders and natural heirs whereas on the other hand in northern parts they are not even allowed to born. It is also noticed that states differ in sex ratio on the basis of literacy as well. In this context, the present study aims to analyze the trends and their determinants of the skewed distribution among the states and the union territories of the country.
