Let Daughters be your pride!!!

I was going through Evan Grae Davis's talk on the eve of TEDX Gateway last night. And it totally got me off beliefs. With all the recent "Save the girl child" initiative by the Gujarat government and the measures taken by the other state governments of India have finally started showing remarkable improvement in the comparative girl child ratio. It made me immensely happy reading all the articles published by the Times of India regularly regarding the improvement in the ratio across the most prone areas like Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana and many more state.I has started to believe that we are finally respecting the female population. But the talk delivered by Evan Grae Davis, a famous filmaker working for the NGO's unveiled the reality in all these articles. A women with no guilt and regrets after strangling 8 of her new born girl child just in hope of a male child made me go numb.

There have been old traditions of killing girl child by drowning them in pot full of milk, striving them to death by filling their mouth with salt or by just simply throwing them away in the nearby lakes and ponds. Murdering brutally the little lives in the name of traditions and yet being proud of what they did. Family and people with such mentally should be given severe punishments ie hanged till death. Had our government taken strict live threatening punishments against such acts, our official improvement in the girl child ratio would have been on rapid increase line. Not only in India, even highly developing countries like China, it is one the major issues. Not only the One Child law has proved to be one the major strengths of China by controlling its population at a huge scale  but it has also proved to be one of the most devastating official rule challenging all the efforts taken to reduce genocide.

Today, in a world where we have inspirations such as Sunita Williams, Sunidhi Chauhan, Lata venkateshwar, Chanda Kochhar and lot more of the women who are excelling beyond the limits and making our nation proud, we also have traditions which are forcing people to take away valuable lives. Today where oil company like ONGC has first time permitted three female engineers for on-shore jobs, we still lack behind hiding our shame in having a daughter in the family. Being in the 21st century, yet when our daughters complain of being chased by we try to lock them inside their homes in the name saving our dignity. If this is known as dignity then we should be ashamed to have hidden our daughters and killing them.

It is believed that population of India has been its major weapon right no. So please spread a message to every corner of your locality "Save the future by saving girls". Start from your locality, from the basic little joint families near you. Because if the roots are clean and strong, so will the tree of happiness by prospered forever. Let us not consider girl child as a trash, instead make her your pride and she will never fail you.
