Save girl child to save your future
India is growing dynamically in every field. Today, the boom in economy, innovative technologies and improved infrastructure has become nation’s pride. In India dynamic and vibrant universities, I.I.I.T’s, Schools & Colleges were setup to changing the global trends. The country has witnessed advancements in all fields but bias against a girl child is still prevailing in the country. In order to improve the condition of a girl child in India.Many NGO’s, States govt. & Central govt. launches Save the Girl Child Campaign to arrest declining sex ratio. But to save girl child it is essential to ascertain the root cause of the backwardness of the society. Being a male interested society, family’s desire for a male child to carry forth the ancestral heritage. The first question parents ask at the birth of the child, in all society all over the world, is always the same “is it a boy or girl“.If boy then whole family celebrate that day with greet zeal and for girl child wise-versa. After marriage woman has a limited role to play in the business affairs of a narrow minded traditional family and hence her talents get wasted. The Indian law has always been forceful in implying the privileges of the lady members of the society. Its shame for us that “Bharat Mata ki Beti ko apne Astitva ke liye sangharsh karna pad raha hai”. But girl child only be save if the mentality of common man toward girl changed.
Save the girl child because if there is no daughter then how would we have mother. Daughters means, saving mothers thus, saving country.

    In countless cultures, arranged marriages are the way of life. If you get married by personal choice, you are frowned upon. Girls in many cultures have very strong courageous mind sets for allowing an illegal act to be performed, to marry at a young age. “Parents know about the illegality of such marriages, but in West Bengal, considered an intellectually progressive state, only two cases were registered in 2005 under the Child Restraint Act” (Dhar). They do not report the acts of abuse due to the fact that they may go to jail. If the father goes to jail, they are virtually surviving off very little or no income. Comparatively, Nurse reflects on this subject when she recalls in Romeo and Juliet, “I remember it well. / ‘Tis since the earthquake now eleven years; / and she was weaned. (I shall never forget it),” (1.3.27-29). This devastating way of life, traumatizes these women and the unrealistic expectations have harmful effects on the girls.…

    For societies, usually in backward regions, where patriarchy still prevails and ‘female foeticide’ plagues, parents are evidently ‘controlled’ by societal and cultural influences. They may appear to be unable to make wise decision with regard to the welfare or survival of their child, especially girls. Selective abortion for gender preference is illegal in India, but the low proportion of female births…

    India from centuries has never welcomed the birth of daughter. Indian culture either treats woman as a goddess or an object, pretentiously as goddess but actually as an object. Daughters were never welcome as is evident from the blessings given by Rishis – “Ashta Putra Saubhagyavati Bhava” – “Be a Mother of 8 sons” – the blessing was never for 4 sons and 4 daughters.…

    In the society like Pakistan and India, where dowry system is very prominent, they see their daughter as burden and even the girls think that early marriage will lower the dowry and have better life to their families (Dayal, 2015). This kind of mindset confined to preserve culture and tradition, restrict girls from their right to education. In India and in many countries, it is believed that women only leave the house of their parents when they get married to the men whom they refer as husband. The mindset of people living in that kind of society is that no matter how educated women are, they will have to remain as wife under her husband, following their culture and families value. This not only restricts women to enroll in education but also restricts women who are pursuing their higher education like MBA (Sheikh, 2007). Another kind of mindset in the people is the superior and inferior complex where male is superior to his opposite sex. For an instance, Pakistani Society is a male-dominated society where women are taught from a very early age to be tolerance and acceptance under the domination of their opposite sex (Ovais, 2014). This kind of mindset, no matter how educated they are, it is passed down from generation which can be hard to erase or…

    The Indian culture suffers greatly from this problem and has even more hardship than the American women. “A Thomson Reuters Foundation expert poll last year ranked India as the world’s fourth most dangerous country for a women,” (Challenges of being a women in India 1). This indicates how women are being treated in this culture. They are being treated with disrespect and as they are unable to live up to the status of a man. As one of the most dangerous countries for women, many problems occur. For example, “Even though the practice is outlawed, 300,000 to 600,000 female fetuses are aborted every year in India because of the preference for boys,” (Challenges of Being a Women in India 1). Again this indicates to inequality among genders. These people are forcefully aborting these female fetuses just because they are female. The favoritism for men is harming the wellbeing of women. The gender should not matter. They are both humans, they are both of the same species. This problem between the genders is extreme and action needs to be taken. The problem lies within the power who makes the decisions of the country of…

    Another real fact is that, a new born baby girl is still considered as “burden” in much case and consequently they are treated with ignorance from childhood. When a male child is born everyone rejoices, but when a female child is born many seem dejected and crest-fallen, as if a tragedy has occurred. Socially, sons are preferred for continuation of family line, for looking after parents in their old age and for performing their last rites. Besides, poor parents of a daughter feel humiliated due to dowry demands when her marriage is to be settled. It is said that an “IAS officer’s dowry price is Rs.1 crore, and that of an…

    It is even more preposterous to have an inequality in education for this biological reason. Education for girls not only helps themselves and their families lift out of poverty, but also helps increase the country’s GDP. Educating the girls also reduces the likelihood of girls to be forced into sex, since education would delay her marriage and childbirth.…

    By Prof. D. B. Gadling & Karuna Raut Dept. of Mass Comm. & Journalism, Solapur University, Solapur. Email : d_gadling@yahoo.com Contribution of Social Reformers Gender equality is the point of utmost importance in the empowerment of women. This concept is not altogether new to India. Various attempts were made to spread it by social reformers in India. During the 19th century Raja Rammohan Roy raised his voice against child marriages, Sati and polygamy. Maharshi Ravindranath Tagore, Keshav Chandra Sen, Ishwarchnandra Vidyasagar also fought against bad practices in the society. In Maharashtra, Dhondo Keshav Karve and Mahatma Jyoteeba Phule tried their level best for the upliftment of women. The marriages Act of 1872 approved widow marriages, intercaste marriages and banned child marriages and polygamy. Arya Smaj advocated equality for women by establishing a large number of schools for boys and girls all over the country. M. K. Gandhi made serious attempts for the equality of women and women’s participation in every aspect of life. Attempts made for the upliftment of women after the independence Fundamental Rights Article 14 states, “The state shall not deny to any person equality before law…..” Article 14 prohibits discrimination against any citizen on the ground of religion, caste, sex or race. Under article 39 (d), the state is urged to provide with equal pay for equal work to both men and women.1 In spite of various attempts cited above, the present position of women is not satisfactory. Hence it is thought now that mere remedies are not enough for women empowered. The realities of women empowerment are : 1. Society is dominated by the men Women constitute around 50% of the world’s population, but in no country they get their due; not even in developed countries. The positions at the highest level- political or administrative- are occupied mostly by men. Few women have risen to the top most elected offices like the…
