In today’s world a daughter stands shoulder to shoulder with the son. She can take all the responsibility as a son can. It angers me when I hear educated people giving preference to a son over a daughter. What does a son have that a daughter doesn’t???
Is it not the responsibility of educated people like “us” to set an example for others to follow. If we ourselves continue this discrimination ... is there any hope left for the girl child??
The entire world is looking at India as one of the fastest progressing country in the world. Are we actually progressing in the real sense?
When your “right to live” itself is threatened, because you are born a Girl, slogans like “India Poised” and “India Shining” all seem hollow and futile.
You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women.—Jawaharlal Nehru
