In 2001, the child sex ratio of 883 girls per 1,000 boys in Census data exposed Gujarat's ugly social face. Eighteen years later, the 2019 Lok Sabha voter list has only 575 women per 1,000 men voters in the 18-19 age group serving a cold reminder of the grim societal reality that is getting carried forward. It is children born in year 2000-2001 who would now have grown up and get counted as first-time voters in general polls.
