Newborn baby buried alive in India fights for her life

A newborn baby girl was found buried alive in India, fighting for her life. The 20-day-old infant was discovered by a shepherd who heard faint cries coming from a mound of earth. The baby was immediately rushed to a hospital, where she is currently receiving medical treatment. The incident has sparked outrage and raised concerns about the treatment of newborn girls in India, where female infanticide and abandonment remain significant issues. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the baby's burial and to identify the perpetrators. The case highlights the ongoing need for education, awareness, and social welfare programs to address the deep-rooted gender biases and discrimination that persist in parts of the country. As the baby continues her fight for survival, the incident serves as a sobering reminder of the challenges faced by many vulnerable newborns, particularly girls, in certain regions of India.
