India is one of the few countries where
selective sex gender bias exists till today. The onslaught of feminism
has not allowed Indian women to revolt against the century old systems.
For centuries together women have played their roles of being the
provider and sustainers of families without even a thank you note at the
end of their lives. It has been proven in India and other countries
where ever women have been given freedom they have changed the world and
made a better place to live in. Consider these facts:
Education and training helps the woman to hone her talents. She can earn
more money. Women have the ability to put the money earned in further
education. They also spend the money of better healthcare for children
and families. Men on the other hand are spendthrifts. When they earn
they spend it on vices and make hell for their families. The economic
status of the woman gives her a better social understanding. An educated
woman is likely to defend herself better than an illiterate one against
men, crimes and abuse. Once she knows her rights she can also approach
the courts. Many daring women have taken such recourse to bring men to
task.
It is only a woman who understands that weather a male or female child,
it should be healthy and given equal status. A woman has the power to
end the evil of dowry system also. As girls are given a chance to live
there will be control in population. Families will be small, healthy
better educated and happy. Today’s woman has to be given the confidence
to live. She will eventually be a balanced mother. The craving for the
ubiquitous male heir has to vanish. Discrimination between the male and
female child have to end for ever. Educated Indians have to behave
responsibly and set an example for one another.
The Ministry for Welfare of Woman and Child in India says, ‘don’t kill
your girl child. We will look after her.’ It is an embarrassment for all
of us if we fail to protect the rights of the girl child. India has
examples of women who have risen from the ashes like phoenix and done
the country proud. India can be poised and shining only if the girls are
given an opportunity to prove their talents. In education they have been
toppers consistently against boys. A girl is like a flower to be
nurtured.
She is a goddess to be revered. She is mother
earth that sustains the very breath of humanity. How can man even think
of killing her in the womb? It is said in the Bhagwat Gita that
the karma of the past catches up. For those who have killed their
daughters mercilessly they will go through the same fate. But the woman
whose tender heart continues to nurture will still give a chance to evil
to redeem. Unless India gives women a chance to survive, it would fail
as the world’s largest democracy.
