We Indians call our nation mother India and
are great devotees of Mother Goddess in various manifestations. But is
this devotion and respect for the country restricted to only a few words
or do well actually implement these values. No, we all are openly
playing a double standard game with our country as well as our Goddess.
No one of us can deny the dual character personality of Indians. One end
we say that we worship Maa Sarastwati, Maa Durga, Maa Laksmi and at the
other end we are continuously destroying the precious gift of nature, a
girl child.

The latest and
innovative techniques of gender detection have empowered the
rate of female foeticide in India. Every mother desires to have
abortion if the ultrasound test detects a girl child. Wait a
moment…what can you see in the ultrasound?
Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes, innocent face, ready to come
out and feel the beauty of nature and love of mother. Close your
eyes and you will hear a sweet voice from within, ‘Mamma’. Will
you still abort your unborn girl child? No, you can’t be so
cruel, at least not to someone who is a part of you.

Becoming a mother is the greatest gift of God. Treasure this gift
regardless of the fact whether you have a baby boy or baby girl. It’s
now time to take an initiative to curb the undesirable practice of girl
discrimination. Girls must enjoy the right to freedom, right to
education and right to birth. They are biologically stronger than boys
and must receive adequate nutrition, health care facilities and
education. They must be given opportunities to explore themselves and
prove their capabilities. As mothers, they are responsible for imparting
values, cultural beliefs and manners in their children. Hence, they must
be educated spiritually, emotionally and intellectually.
Women are the best players of the society to bring in vigor, harmony,
cooperation, humanity and eventually transforming the society into a
compassionate and peaceful place to live in.
Every child required nourishment and wise guidance in the early
formative years. At this stage, a woman helps her child imbibe the best
of good things in life. Lack of education will not only harm the
individual development of a child but whole of the nation.
Presently, many harmful characters are misguiding the status of women,
resulting in retarded social growth. Rules and regulations must be
adopted to improve the status of woman in every state and furthermore
result in an overall development of the country.
Just take a step forward and work for the betterment of girl’s status
and the overall development of the country.
