Detailed Solution

Modernisation is not a reason for the sexual imbalance in India.
In many regions of India, people prefer their newborn to be a boy only, and they also practise abortion to prevent the birth of girls. This led to a significant sexual imbalance in India. While illiteracy also contributes to these two reasons, people are unaware of many things and consider female children a burden. Such reasons led to an imbalanced sex ratio in India of 919 (919 girls per thousand boys). At the same time, modernisation is helping to create sexual balance. People are getting educated and becoming aware of gender equality. There are strict laws against abortion, and the increasing equality between both sexes is helping to eradicate the problem.
