Save Girl Child

I appreciate TOI's campaign "Save Girl Child". It has caught attention of many people and I think it should change the way people think of girl child. According to me, saving girl child is not enough, she should get equal rights as boys are enjoying in the country. Though India is growing and shifting paradigm rapidly towards western culture, gender inequality exists there in society. I feel extremely lucky as my parents fully supported me in education and in all the way. I grown up in very free environment. At home I never felt inequality. But I do feel it at work place. I am not getting enough opportunity as I'm woman, this upsets me and hindering my career path. My boss has even got daughters but he fears for giving me some opportunity by saying I'm a woman employee. This is unfair in an MNC.


I heard from many parents that educating girl is not fruitful, I don't understand why such parents think for profit, personal relations don't mean for profits. In society when it comes the property issue, parents put son in front row. In the matter of divorce also woman has to think for society but same in case of man it's easily acceptable. I've seen this in matrimonial ad also "A divorcee guy is looking for a beautiful single woman". More than this parents do send their daughter's proposal to this sort of ad, this means inequality is openly acceptable in well educated families also. It's general perception that woman has to adjust at every step of life, why this is so??? For any relation both the sides should adjust to make the relation beautiful.


Now towards some positive aspects, my maid is so conscious for her girl's education, she wants to give her best to her daughter she dreams that her daughter would become doctor one day. This means there is an improvement at lower level which we can expect from higher level also.It's nice to know that woman will get entry in NDA also, this will prove woman's physical power on field also. We can also do, we have equal power just give us chance. It's a wrong perception that physically men are stronger than women. How is this possible??? woman bears the pain to be a mother, she enjoys all the sufferings to give a new life. So, we the women are equally strong as man.



Let's look forward for the day when there will be gender equality in all the way in India. And on that I would say we are independent in true way. So, save a girl child and make her feel equal at every step.
