No worries. I guess I missed that story. I've heard it about China a million times, but not India, and definitely never about Pakistan.

Yes, China with the one child policy has always been the big news story on this topic. But too many males and not enough females has long been one of the key factors in both Pakistan and India’s internal (and sometimes external) strife.

Ah I'd never heard that, but it makes perfect sense.

It seems trite to say but societies need balance. Just look for the spots of greatest imbalance and those are the spots of near-term strife and discord.

Listen to the music of nature, not the words of the press.

Wise words.
