Isha Rastogi, Ambala
Navratri,the festival of nine lights came and went .We celebrated it with full zest and enthusiasm .Visiting temples,offering prayers,lighting diyas and killing our girl child is a common ritual, Yes killing our girl child much before it sees the dawn of a new life.
Girls who are incarnations of 'Durga', 'Lakshmi, and 'Sarsawati' are brutally murdered in the words which we better know as 'female foeticide' .50 million girls are missing from India's population as a result og systematic gender discrimaination in India.
Boys are preferred because they carry family lineage in future but a" son is a son only till he doesn't have a wife but a daughter is a daughter all her life." Indian women like Shabana Azmi,Kiran Muzumdar Shaw, Sania Mirza are the epitome of modern women .Our daughters will make you proud if given their due respect in the society.
