Ithaca, Cornell Univ Press, (1981). 1st ed. VG in VG DJ. Study of the reason for the higher numbers of males in the northwestern plains region of rural Indian with the most. skews in the higher castes. Rather than the outright female infanticide of a century ago, there is now deliberate neglect and discrimination against females by the allocation of food, medical care and love. Miller attributes this in part to the low demand for and use of female labor in agriculture in the Northwest and large dowry costs.
