Newborn baby buried alive in India fights for her life

A 20-day-old newborn baby girl was found buried alive in India's Uttar Pradesh state, sparking concerns over gender discrimination. The infant was discovered by a shepherd who heard her cries under a mound of earth in Shahjahanpur district. Hospital authorities report that the baby, covered in dirt and struggling to breathe due to mud in her mouth and nostrils, is in critical condition with infections and insect bites. Authorities are investigating the incident as similar cases are linked to India's preference for sons, which has led to a skewed gender ratio and ongoing challenges for females in the country.
