Mission is not easy

In country like India who has history of killing... rather burning females at the time of funeral of their husband...the fact of female infoenticides is not a surprise.
In country like India in which females are humilated and pressurised to sucide for dowery even after few years of marriage...the mission to save the girl child is challenging one.

Background...

Background:

As all are aware of latest big issue of concerned is decreasing sex ratio in India

Population explosion is no more explosion but still it is the issue of concern even today.

Regarding reducing rate of population to control the birthrate is the main important step…and I think in India…that step is working in a effective way.

People in general are aware of the fact and two kids family norm is well accepted by society as such.

Statastics

Statistics of sex ratio:

Of World -  986:1000

 

Of India: 933 : 1000

Declining from 972:1000 in 1901 to 933:1000 in 2001

Kerala – 1058 : 1000

Maharastra – 922 : 1000

Harayana – 861:1000

 

Changing Norm of Two Kids Society…

Changing Norm of Two Kids Society…
It’s my personal thinking
            In old days when there was no social awareness on ill effects of population and couple use to have 5 / 6 or even more children…the though of female infanticide was not even though by anybody…many had a girl child after 3/4/5 male child…and that girl was treated as the most prestigious child in joint family. 
 the norm of three kids family was giving three chance for a couple to have a at least one male child.
But norm of two kids family has reduced a chance of having male child by 33%.
And if first child is female…then the couple has only one chance to have a male child…and they are eager to have male child.
It’s very unfair to them to take a chance with playing it blind.
They wants to see their cards…to confirm the sex of upcoming child…
And then the real unethical ways starts like sex determination and fetal infanticides…
Modern science has shown them a way by means of Ultrasound…
In short this modern way or Norm of family has provoking them for fetal infanticides…

Killing Female infant...

Murder of a female infant…
Killing a upcoming girl or infant is not a big issue for a couple.

In country like India having very bad background and history as far as humiliation of women are concerned…female Infanticide is only a minor issue…
Let me explain…
Let’s take example of historical traditions like burning a widow along with dead body of a husband…today one can not even think…about that religious tradition…humiliating women as such. It was so horrible…
And in modern days even today dowry related murder of a young woman is common thing…she is either killed by relatives or provoked to suicide…
So the society in which we all live is with all the time shows male dominance supported by women…that is worst side of it…

Time is the solution

Change will take place.. But it will takes it’s time

You can not expect the thing to change over night…after considering background and history of Psychology of Indian people in general…
Efforts are being taken by many non government organization and government authorities…which are working…no doubt about it…but…need is to try different ways to work on different more aspects…need is to focus something different and new….and to work on regular basis…

start from home


Lead with example:
People not always talks what they are wiling to follow or what they are following…
So the most important thing should be the ability to lead with example as far as this mission is concerned…
I am not a leader or captain of these two mission but …I am a strong soldier of these mission…
I am a proud father of my only daughter…
We have  recently felicitated for this under ‘One Girl Child Family’…by giving a certificate…which I have displayed in my clinic…many patient and relatives visiting are appreciating it…and it makes me able person to talk to them on the subject.
I all the time work actively to motivate young population to participate in this mission…and I am sure they will be the leaders of future…
My efforts to motivates old traditional type of people is little bit less effective as tradition is something the people think as a part of life by which they survive…

conclusion on Mission save the girl child

To Conclude:

1.To target sonologist or gynecologist and other doctors is okay but the main focus should be people in general.

2.To implement law is okay but main aim should be to change mind set of people in general.
