Yesterday I saw Aamir's 'Satyamev Jayate' programme on Star plus. 'female foeticide' a crime people chose to ignore, which is committed for ages in India by most educated people. On the pretext of family name a female child is aborted before birth.
For the first time, a well -known personality decided to voice the 'female foeticide' strongly showing the world 'mirror of crimes' committed by them. I hope at-least a few of them are ashamed of committing this act and the rest, stop and think about it.
It brings back few old memories of my childhood when my grandma, aunts and uncles, mom and dad spoke about always wanting a 'male child' and claiming 'a female child as a curse'. I remember when I was pregnant, the blessings said 'may you be blessed with a boy'.
I always thought, how could my grandma, aunt, ma and m-i-law say that, when they themselves are females. Had their mother and family members strongly felt the same and aborted them would they have been there in this world today or our very existence possible ? People who think of a aborting a girl child should question the existence of their parents and grandparents ?
Honestly, every man and woman should question their own existence ?
Honestly, every man and woman should question their own existence ?
as it is only because of his/her mother (an un-slaughtered/un-aborted), a female child who escaped the curse and gave birth to them.
