centuries tried to curb them out. On the other hand these have been used as the
handy tool for cpturing and retaining power. We regard women as Durga, Goddesses
for the sake of festivals and enjoyment. Many social reformers and saints like
Dnyaneshwar, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, IswhwarChandra Vidyasagar, Dayananda Saraswati,
Ramkrishna Paramhansa, etc., but these remain at the bottom and hardly adopted by
top governance. We talk proudly and often refer to our Constitution, are we
really following it in such cases as gender differentiation, secularism, etc.
Getting birth is a random process. Any new kid born is a matter of joy and
sociaety is exptected to take every care for the natural growth of kid
irrespective gender, caste and religion. We are in modern age, but are we really
developed mentally in a right path? In Vedant, it is stated that son contributes
to only one generation, father's side but a girl contribute to 9 generations. We
are the modern, literate, educated ones but no healthy mind, no rationality, and
worst than tribals and animals .

> My mistake to be born here â€" a fictional story of an Indian girlI am
miserable, in pain and on a death bed with no one to care. Even my family does
not want me to live. They dumped me on a street when I feel ill. I wondered about
was my fault. I realised it was that I was born as a girl and not as a boy.Lying
on a hospital bed in a south Delhi’s government hospital, five-year-old
Krishita had all soar memories about her childhood. An abusive father, ignorant
mother and grandfather who hated her because his wife died on the day she was
born. The darling of the home was her younger brother Samir born after many
prayers.Doctors at the hospital had pronounced that she may not survive from twin
disaster many poor girls face at early age â€" malnourishment and ignorance to
their ailments. Krishita had a curable lung dysfunction but her family did not
provide appropriate medical treatment because of high cost.They instead preferred
to give their best for her younger sibling while ignoring her illness for years.
One day, her family decided enough was enough and directed the mother to dump her
on a road far away from their home. Her mother left her in an unconscious
condition on a road near a south Delhi hospital.Thinking her to be dead, a
rickshaw-puller took her to a nearest government hospital, where she had been
battling death for last three days. Doctors say her chances of survival are
minimal. Krishita could be among half a million girls under the age of five who
die in India every year. And it translates into 131 girls dying for 100 boy
deaths in this age group indicating the society’s bias towards the girl child.
Many girls, especially from socially and economically deprived sections, face
Krishita type of discrimination in their families on a daily basis. Many of them
consider it a societal norm as they are taught since childhood that they are
physically and mentally weaker than the boys and have to play second fiddle to
them.Krishita like many girls justified discrimination at home as a societal
norm. Her belief, however, changed when she heard a news item on television about
five young girls taking on her family in a small village in West Bengal against
child marriage. These brave girls were felicitated by former President Pratibha
Devisingh Patil who also spoke about equality granted to all by the
Constitution.It was then the thought â€"it was crime to be born as a girl in
India â€" crossed her mind.Not untrue.India is among the countries having worst
sex ratios in the world. A woman gets raped in India every 20 minutes.
Molestation and eye-teasing is norm rather than exception on Indian roads. A
young girl dies of dowry torture every two hours. Around 60% of girls in the age
group of zero to six are malnourished.(The above narration is a fictional story
to depict the plight of girls)[Source: HT HOME/BLOGS HOME>ECOSTANI/INDIA/ MY
