On the document there is a scale where we can see an Indian woman and a lot of expensive object like a car and a big bag of money.
According to the scale a woman is heavier than a lot of expensive materiels. this scale reflect the image of a woman in India. they are more expensive than a lot of cost things  because of the dowry system. When those woman will get married their families will have to give to the grooms families, quality meals and presents but also they will have a huge wedding party wich cost a big amount of money. So in India for many people and specially the poor family a woman is a burden.
Consequently the number of girls drop since 1961 in Indian families, as we can see on the chart. the number of girls aged 0 to 6 years were around 975 girls for 1000  boys in 1961 whereas there were only about 910 girls in 2011.
the others consequence of the dowry system is that the families who can't marry their daughter(s) will often kill them or sell them as a sex slave or they will marry them to a older man who will most of the time not ask a expensive dowry.

First of all there is naturally more boys than girls. indeed  the sex ratio favours boys with 1,020 boys born to 1,000 girls.
There is also sex selective abortions: some mothers are ready to abort their child because they don't want to have a girl even if it's illegal.
And if there are not killed before birth, a lot of girls  are dying in the 5 years after their  birth because there are neglected by their relative.
