Save girl child... or save girls..save females..
I wonder, today, being women's day, all newspapers, social networking sites, media, everywhere Happy Women's Day messages are flooding as if some fish market fishes.. Why only 8th of march is selected to show gratitude to a woman.. Why people forget that existence of there own being is through a female. It's a woman who gave them immense love in form of mother, wife, sister or beloved. It shakes me off when I listen about rape case that too on a girl of age 2.6 yrs.. Aren't people with such mind sets ashamed of themselves. Even old aged ladies are not safe.
Rape is not the only case where women are deprived of there rights..right from the day a girl is born, she is destined to fight, fight and fight..
- On very first instance she has to fight for her own birth..
- If there is another male child in family she has to fight for her existence, wishes, educational, food entertainment needs with her brother as Indian family mentality is a boy child will serve there old age whereas there is no return in investing in a girl.
- If she achieves job she has to fight against male associates and ugly typical male mentality..
- If she becomes boss, then life becomes like a roller coaster ride, apart from work she is supposed to spend majority of her energy against male chauvinist environment.
- Life after marriage..Oh what a big dearth..Traditional Indian familes.. so called modern Indian families..There are huge lists of reponsibilities for the girl who is coming to there house..At some places "a bahu" is not suppose to have her free will or free life.. My upcoming blog is treatment with daughter in laws in Indian television serials..
- She suppose to take care of her in laws, her kids, her husband and if required work or do job too.
- Again her salary is considered income of complete family or at some places she has to hand it over to mother in law or husband completely
- Earlier I was thinking that let the ratio of boy to girl get decreased then people will understand importance of a girl..( just like the quote " jo chiz apne pass nahi hoti uski insaan ko jyada chaahat hoti hai").. but I was so wrong again it is leading to more exploitation of women in states like Haryana, Rajasthan..
- Here a female is treated as a slave..They are exploited by all male members of family (may be in some communities, cant say about entire system). They have started purchasing young girls or mid aged ladies from other states and purchase is done by one person and rest other treat her as.... oh it's stopping me to describe all this. and again one more crime of human trafficking is added because of unbalanced ratio.
Once upon a time, beyond ages India was super power and at that time, woman were worshiped as goddesses. A sanskrit shlok is coming to my mind at this point of time.. Our sages used to say "yatra naryashtu pujyante ramante tatra devataha". It's place of god where ladies are worshipped. I want my country to be super power and I don't want my species ( female) listed in endangered species.
