Abstract	My pH-D concentrates on the spatial patterning of sexual discrimination against girls in Tamil Nadu, South India. First, we have realized a historical view of infanticide around the world, and also analyzed the methods of sexual determination. Then we present a pattern of discriminations against women and girls and also the programs and legislations in their favor. We also focused on the perception of these practices, by the questioning of reproductive rights and ethics in India. My geographical analysis, always linked to an Asiatic context, consists, in the study of the diffusion of female infanticide and female selective abortion in India. For this purpose I use the computerized data base of Indian census, mainly the variables sex-ratio, sex-ratio at birth and sex ratios 0-6 years in India, South India and more precisely in the region of Kongu Nadu in Tamil Nadu. I also mapped the spreading of abnormalities of the sex ratio 0-6 years. Fieldwork provided several socio-cultural explanations and economic points to the geographical pattern. The gender practices in the caste of Kongus Vellalars Gounders were then analyzed with a comparison to the other castes of the village under study, but also infanticide in the region and the role of governmental programs and ONG. Then, we have analyzed one group of factors, responsible, of the sex ratio's mutation. This third field provides an understanding of such facts as the clustering of infanticide, the origins of this practice and its evolution towards new medical technologies linked with sexual discrimination. At his end, this research sketches out the south-Indian demographic perspectives which derive from these phenomenon.
