A few weeks ago, Indore, a city in Madhya Pradesh in central India, suddenly came into focus. A well-known newspaper carried a front-page report that Indore had become the site of "hundreds" of sex change operations on children. Apparently surgeons attached to local institutions were "illegally" performing these operations and parents from different parts of the country were flocking to Indore to have, not surprisingly, their girls turned into boys. The newspaper said their reporter had spoken to seven doctors who confirmed that each of them had done 200-300 such surgeries.
