3. Welcome to the world of the girl child, promising yet
gloomy, hopeful, yet in despair. The hand that rocks
the cradle, the procreator, the mother of tomorrow; a
woman shapes the destiny of civilization. Such is the
tragic irony of fate, that a beautiful creation such as
the girl child is today one of the gravest concerns
facing humanity, with a volley of summits,
conferences and events held for the cause, with
topmost world leaders at the helm.
4. India is one the few countries where selective sex
gender bias exists till today.
It is believed that every year 12 million girls are born in
the country but unfortunately only 1/3 of those survive.
Some were killed in the womb, some at the time of
birth, some due to ill health and some due to poor
nutritional status.
India is growing dynamically in every field, today the rapid
growth in economy, innovative technologies, and improved
infrastructure has become nation’s pride.
But bias against the girl child is still prevailing in the
country.
5. The most shocking fact is that the innovative and the hard
high end technologies like biopsy, ultrasound, ultra scan
are brutally killing the Indian girl child.
We Indians call our nation, Mother India and are
great devotees of Goddess in various
manifestations.
But we all are openly playing double standard
games with our country as well as our Goddess.
One end we say that we worship Maa Saraswathi,
Maa Durga, Maa Lakshmi and at the other end we
are continuously destroying the precious gift of
nature, a girl child.
6. Conclusion
It is the responsibility of the Educated generation to
stir a revolution for saving the girl child.
We need to educate those educated as well as the
uneducated ignorants who commits such crimes as
female infanticide.
Television, advertisements, movies, in theater plays
can influence people.
