Acknowledge information in the comments and clarify "neutral" in the final statement.

According to hindi-english.org, "baby", "child", "infant" are all masculine, but I'd be very interested if a native speaker of Hindi could comment on the idea of "feminine word in Hindi". | |

It will, of course, use Indian English. Like any newspaper, it tends to be prepared under pressure and editing errors do happen. | |
