Gender Ratio in Sikhs

I remember watching a feature on Star News.


Composition Hindus Muslims Christians Sikhs Buddhists Jains Others
Sex ratio* (avg. 933) 931 936 1009 893 953 950

It went through all the religions in India and showed the gender ratio of each. I was shocked to see that Sikhs had the lowest gender ratio of all.

Its sad to see people who claim to be part of a religion that holds equality as one of its main pillars, are so influenced by a culture that prefers boys to girls.
