Yesterday morning
woke up reading shocking news in paper, how a 3 month baby girl has been
battered & landed in hospital with skull fracture & brain injuries,
whereas her twin sister had died on 12th day after birth.
Which set me thinking why do we hate “Girl Child”???
Why do we forget
that if we don’t have baby girls, we won’t have mom, sister, wife or
girlfriends…?
Why do we forget
that if girls aren’t there how will the family grow, as there will be no one to
give birth to kids??
Secondly how can a
mom, forget Dad, how can a mom do this???A mom who being a woman herself, who
for 9 months nurtured that child in her womb, who gave birth to her, suffering
so much pain & trouble, have the heart to batter her own child that way???
Why so much hype for
a male child???? As it is said “A son is a son till he gets a wife, (though
there are some exceptions, I agree) but a daughter will always be a daughter”.
How many sons’
now-a-days look or care for their parents? Compare the ratio with daughters... Daughters’
inspite of getting married look after their parents as well as in-laws, no
matter what...
Being a woman I am
not biased, but isn’t it the truth??? I don’t
say all sons are like that…some do care for their parents.
But why the longing
for a male child, in this century!!!
Who turns your house
into home sweet home, who cooks hot, piping food for you, who looks after your
kids & parents, who looks after you when you fall sick????It is a woman, either
in guise of your mom, wife, sister or your daughter…
How can parents be
so cruel & heartless to batter a 3 month, 3 year or a 7 year old girl??? Aren’t
we reading this news every other day???Every other day in some corner of the
country a girl foetus or baby is found in some drain or a dustbin… how can a
mother do this?? Instead of throwing these kids or killing them why not give
them for adoption…there are many childless couples who are waiting for a girl
to adopt.
We need to wake up...Don’t
forget Laxmi, Parvati, Saraswati, Kali, DurgaMa, Mother Mary along with others Goddess
are also woman.
I am not too sure if such parents can truly love and care for male children either…
