Nearly 2 million Indian women are reported missing each year according to a recent survey by the Indian government. Indian society has been suppressing women since ancient times. Indian parents are having children until ‘the number of sons desired’ is reached. The girls are neglected and “nearly 63 million women are “missing” from India’s population due to foeticide, disease, neglect, or inadequate nutrition”. Despite Modi’s implementation of a ‘Save the Girls’ initiative in 2015, the gender inequality still exists.

The way India should address this issue using digital media is to assess this issue is simply getting it out to the public and showing that it is a real issue. Once Western nations hear about this problem, it will draw more attention. How is it possible for this many women to go missing? Is there a bigger problem at hand? Is this an issue in other Hindu/South Asian nations? It is interesting that Indira Ghandi, a woman, has once led the country, but India looks down on women in such a poor light.
