WE LIVE IN A "INDIA"?

We live in a INDIA where women's are worshiped at days,

But get gang raped at night!

We live in a India where a rapist or criminal can go to temple but a bleeding women can't!

We live in a India where women's are "allowed" to work but still be expected to do all the household!

We live in a India where we proud to be landed on moon but why still be ashamed of menstruation!

We live in a India where a women is "allowed" to study but still be expected to get married by 22!

We live in a India where we say daughter's and son's are equal but why still doctors hide the gender till the birth?

We live in a India where a father gives his life income in dowry but why not on her education?

We live in a India where we talk about all the equality but why no one talks about the unequality of only women leaving her home?

We live in a India where sons are asked for their graduation/ income but why daughter's are asked for what can they cook?

We live in a India where men's can urinate in public but why women still be questioned on a skirt?

We live in a India where a good women goes to heaven but the bad one goes anywhere she wants!

And Yes, sometimes I'm not proud to say I live in India!.

National Girl Child Day

For centuries in India, daughters have been worshiped as forms of the goddess Laxmi, while ironically, it is sons who have been regarded as a guarantee for economic security- the source of wealth and prosperity for the family. They are considered the ideal inheritors of one’s accumulated capital. Sons are expected to take care of their aging parents, and carry forward family businesses. Meanwhile parents start preparing for their daughter's 'vidhai' from the moment she is born, concerned about paying dowries, and expecting to ship her off to another home where she will take care of someone else's family. Due to this, many families have not wanted to invest in the care and keeping of a girl child, leading to historically high rates of female infanticide in the Indian subcontinent. With the onset of modern technology, such as ultrasounds, there has also been an increase in female foeticide.

Gender screenings and sex-based abortions have led to unnatural selection through social factors as opposed to physical ones. Generations of these practices have led to an incredibly skewed sex ratio in the country- as per the 2011 census the figures stood at 943 women per 1000 men, reaching as low as 800 in some states. Although a law was put in place to prevent female infanticide in 1870, under British India, it didn’t do much to curtail the practice. An act prohibiting pre-natal sex determination was passed in 1994, which has criminalized this process and helped reduce it to some extent. This has led to the strange concept of reproductive tourism taking rise in India, as citizens travel to countries where sex screenings are not banned to determine what their future holds.

Similarly, the government has started a lot of schemes such as Beti Bachao Beti Padhao to increase focus and divert funding towards female education. In the modern world, more and more women are leaving the house to work, a result of families that have prioritized their education. The dependency that families feared from their daughters is no longer as great a cause for concern in many families in urban spaces. However, for many rural or poorer families, a girl child is still considered a curse, as funding her marriage becomes a great source for stress. Alternatively, funding her education is not even considered a viable option as they do not expect to see the return on their investment.

Due to this, National Girl Child Day and other recognitions of women are vital in nations like India, to celebrate the achievements of women and show the citizens that they are just as capable as a man, well worth the time and effort it takes to raise them. Especially when women are born into a society that already presents them with a series of obstacles to achieve success based solely on their gender, celebrating and empowering them from birth is vital to their development and that of the nation.
