THE GIRL CHILD------- A BOON NOT A CURSE.....

INDIA A LAND OF TRADITIONS, CONCEPTIONS, MISCONCEPTIONS AND A LOT MORE. HERE THERE IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION THAT A GIRL CHILD IS A LIABILITY TO THE FAMILY, AND HENCE EVERY YEAR WE SEE MANY GIRL CHILD DEATHS IN INDIA. IS THIS JUSTIFIED. IS IT TRUE THAT A GIRL CHILD IS A LIABILITY TO THE FAMILY? DO GOVERNMENT POLICIES AGAINST THIS ISSUE WORK OUT PROPERLY? IF NOT THEN WHY NOT? SO MANY QUESTIONS BUT WHEN I ASKED THEM I HEARD NO ANSWERS. IN THIS ADVANCED WORLD I THINK WE HAVE ANSWERS TO EVERYTHING, THEN WHY NOT TO THIS QUESTION. JUST BECAUSE IT HAS TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE GENDER OR IS IT THAT IT IS REALLY A MAN'S WORLD. DO WE REALLY REALIZE HOW INCORRECT WE ARE IN BREEDING THIS MISCONCEPTION IN OUR BRAINS? I DEFINITELY THINK THE ANSWER IS 'NO' WE NEVER REALIZE IT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO. GOD, MADE US HUMANS. HE CREATED MAN AND WOMAN. THEN WHO ARE WE TO DECIDE WHO IS SUPERIOR. REMEMBER GUYS EVEN GOD WAS GIVEN BIRTH BY A WOMAN. BUT THEN WHY DO WE NOT TAKE THIS POINT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE HAVE A GIRL CHILD IN OUR FAMILY. WHY DO WE DEPRIVE HER OF THINGS SHE NEEDS AND WANTS. THOUGH TODAY IN THE MODERN WORLD SUCH INCIDENTS HAVE BECOME LESSER IN NUMBER, BUT STILL THE THOUGHT PROCESS REMAINS THE SAME. ONE OF MY FRIENDS THE OTHER DAY COMMENTED ABOUT HIS DAUGHTERS FUTURE ' WHAT ABOUT HER SHE WILL GROW UP STUDY AS MUCH SHE WANTS AND THEN FINALLY SHE WILL GET MARRIED TO SOMEONE AND BECOME A HOME MAKER SHE IS NOT MY SON TO EARN FOR ME' WHY SUCH AN INDIFFERENCE.WHY SUCH A MALE ORIENTED STATEMENT. IS IT THAT ONLY GUYS CAN EARN AND NOT GIRLS......IS IT THAT ONLY GUYS CAN BE ENGINEERS, DOCTORS, OR MANAGERS. SO VERY WRONG. I WANT TO MAKE A SPECIAL MENTION ONE OF MY FRIENDS IS A PHYSIOTHERAPIST SHE IS FAR MORE INTELLIGENT THAN ME FAR MORE MATURE AND EVEN MORE SMARTER THAN AND I AM,AND I AM NOT ASHAMED TO ACCEPT THIS. WHENEVER I SEE SUCH A GIRL AROUND ME I FEEL PROUD BEING FRIENDS WITH SUCH A PERSON. WHY DO I MENTION HER WELL FOR THE SIMPLE REASON, TO POINT OUT THAT BEING A GUY I AM JUST NOT UP TO THE MARK OF A GIRL. BEING A GUY DOES NOT MAKE ME SUPERIOR TO ANYONE. SUPERIORITY COMES BY BRAINS INTELLIGENCE MATURITY AND SMARTNESS NOT BY GENDER. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPANIES TODAY WHO HAVE REALIZED THAT A GIRL CAN DO MULTI-TASKING IN A FAR BETTER FORM THAN A GUY. WELL , I HAVE WORKED IN A CALL CENTER AND I HAVE WITNESSED THE CAPACITY OF GIRLS IN COMPARISON TO US GUYS. AND I HAVE NO SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT THE MULTI-TASKING THING. IF SUCH IS THE SITUATION THEN WHY DO WE CONSIDER A GIRL CHILD TO BE A LIABILITY. IS IT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET HER MARRIED ? OR MAY BE WE HAVE TO PAY DOWRY ? OR IS IT BECAUSE THE WHOLE 'BLOODY INDIAN SAMAJ' SAYS SO , WE HAVE TO FOLLOW IT WITHOUT REASONING. WELL, WE NEED TO NOW QUESTION AND REASON SOME CONCEPTIONS OF OUR SO CALLED 'INDIAN SAMAJ' AND CHANGE THEM. WE NEED TO RETHINK THAT DO WE REALLY TREAT WOMEN AS GODDESSES. EVERYONE HAS HEARD ABOUT LATE.KALPANA CHAWLA. ABOUT DR.KIRAN BEDI, ABOUT SANIA MIRZA AND LET ME NOT FORGET ABOUT MRS.AISHWARIYA RAI BACHAN ........THESE ARE GREAT WOMAN PERSONALITIES HAD THEIR PARENTS THOUGHT THEY WERE A LIABILITY INDIA WOULD NEVER HAVE SUCH GREAT WOMAN ACHIEVERS. PEOPLE IT IS HIGH TIME WE EJECT OUT THE WRONG THOUGHT PROCESS OUT OF OUR MINDS AND RESPECT WOMAN HOOD AND MAN HOOD IN EQUAL TERMS. DEPRIVING A CHILD OF NEEDS AND RIGHTS IS A NON-BAILABLE CRIME UNDER THE INDIAN PENAL CODE. KILLING THE BABY ON BASIS OF GENDER IS ALSO A NON-BAILABLE CRIME UNDER INDIAN PENAL CODE. LOVING A CHILD WHATEVER GENDER IT MAY BE IS A GOOD DEED IN THE BOOKS OF KARMAS WHICH IS ABOVE ANY CODE ANY BOOK ON EARTH. A GIRL CHILD CAN BE A BOON TO THE FAMILY ONCE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY. HERE I NEED TO MENTION THAT PARENTS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF BOTH GIRL AS WELL AS BOY CHILD IN EQUAL MANNERS. NO COMPARISONS NOTHING JUST GIVE THEM THEIR FREE WORLD AND SEE THE MIRACLES THEY WILL CREATE. LATELY, I REALIZED MY PARENTS LOVED MY SISTERS MORE THAN ME. I USE TO ALWAYS BRING UP THIS ISSUE WITH MY DAD AND MOM HURTING THEM AS THEY SAID THEY LOVED ME ALSO A LOT. THEY WERE RIGHT , I FAILED TO REALIZE THAT BEING A GUY I AM INSENSITIVE TOWARDS TEARS AND SUCH SENSITIVE FEELINGS BUT MY SISTERS BEING GIRLS ARE MORE SENSITIVE TOWARDS SUCH THINGS. AND I KNOW THAT THEY LOVE MY PARENTS MORE THAN ME IN A MORE SENSITIVE MANNER. I CAN FIGHT FOR MY PARENTS, I CAN EARN FOR THEM , I CAN SEND THEM ON A WORLD TOUR, MAKE THEM LAUGH, GIVE A LOT OF EASE AND COMFORT TO THEM IN THEIR OLD AGE , BUT TO LOVE THEM WITH SENSITIVITY I WILL HAVE TO BECOME THEIR DAUGHTER. MAY BE IN THE NEXT BIRTH ...................... A GIRL CHILD IS A BOON TO THE FAMILY, ESPECIALLY TO THE FATHERS WHO THINK ONLY THE SON IS RESPONSIBLE IN BRINGING HONOR TO THE FAMILY............ MY FRIEND WHO IS A PHYSIOTHERAPIST MAKES HER FAMILY FEEL PROUD OF HER AND ALSO HER FRIENDS PROUD OF HER...... SHE BRINGS GREAT HONOR TO HER FAMILY , AND ALSO TO ME........... IN THE GENERAL WORLD PEOPLE RESPECT SUCH WOMEN ............. HATTS OFF TO YOU WOMEN AND GIRL CHILDS .................... I WOULD ALWAYS PRAY TO GOD THAT I MAY GET A GIRL CHILD ............ LETS SEE LOL ................................... BUT READERS THINK ON MY THOUGHTS AND DEVELOP YOUR OWN THOUGHTS IN THIS DIRECTION ........... I AM A SMALL HUMAN BEING MAKING A SMALL EFFORT I WANT HELP FROM YOU ALL GUYS AND GIRLS TO HELP ME MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. I WANT YOU ALL TO SPREAD THIS WORD OUT THAT THE GIRL CHILD IS A BLESSING A BOON AND NOT A CURSE ............ LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT A GIRL CHILD CAN ALSO CREATE MIRACLES ENLIGHTEN PEOPLE TO HELP THE GIRL CHILD SURVIVE, GROW AND PROGRESS TO BECOME ANOTHER KALPANA CHAWLA OR SANIA MIRZA OR KIRAN BEDI AND SO ON ............ SIGNING OFF FOR NOW THE MIRACLE MAKER--------------- SALUTING WOMEN AND WOMAN HOOD I DEDICATE THIS POST TO THE FORTH COMING WOMEN'S DAY THIS MONTH ................. MAY GOD BLESS ALL THE GIRL CHILDREN IN INDIA AND GIVE THEM THE STRENGHT COURAGE AND THE OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE THEIR PARENTS , FRIENDS, THE WORLD AND ME PROUD

    Another significant factor is the view of parents. For example, In some families when a boy is born, relatives, friend and neighbors exclaim congratulations. A son means insurance. He will inherit his father's property and support the family. When a girl is born, the reaction is very different. Some women are upset when they find out their baby is a girl because, to them, a daughter is just another expense. Her place is in the home, not in the world of men. In some parts of India, it's traditional to greet a family with a newborn girl by saying, "The servant of your household has been…

    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…

    In India, there are many cases emerging out on girl child. In rural areas, people are still practicing methods to avoid girl child.

    Jamaica Kincaid relates the relationship between a mother and daughter in her poem, “Girl”. The poem is about how a mother prepares her daughter to become a woman. She gives her a litany of valuable lessons to shape her behavior and character according to what is acceptable to their culture. Kincaid cleverly dropped hints throughout her poem suggesting that the culture being referred to is the Afro-Carribean culture. The Afro-Carribean culture is a blend of music, dance and cuisine mostly conducted in traditional lifestyle; and all these elements are represented in the poem. One of the most lucid hints is the fact that the mother teaches her daughter how to catch a fish, which describes their primary industry: fishing. Essentially, the mother is teaching her daughter a livelihood practiced in their community. The entire poem is both advice and reprimand to prepare a girl become a woman defined by her ability to perform all the household chores, behavior, and values.…

    According to the author, there are two main reasons why sexual disparity is widespread. First of all, the marked cultural preference for sons are significant, although not in all traditional societies. In some 'old-fashioned' societies, where the girl is deemed to join her husband’s family on marriage and lost to her parents, parents prefer to have male children, to guarantee care in their older years. The sexual disparities also tend to rise with income and education. It seems to be the case, in parts of India, that richer, and well educated families, tend to have smaller families. However, they feel more pressured to bear a son to whom the family name and wealth can be carried on through. Secondly, the spread of fetal-imaging technology and significant drop of ultrasound scan cost encourage the use of sex selection abortions. Although this type of abortion is lawfully banned, it is almost impossible to prove that an abortion has been carried out for reasons of sex selection. Therefore, there is no effective regulations to stop this behaviour.…
