On 28th April PM Manmohan Singh inagurated a National meeting on SAVING GIRL CHILD ' With concern he described the decline in sex ratio is National shame,andFemale Foeticide is inhuman and uncivillised pratices .According to health minister the heart of the problem is deep -roote prejudices and value system based on son preferences. A newspaper article says India loses 9 lakh girls in a year SHOCKNG ! . The people are not able to understand the consequences with this ,the state Haryana is already paying the price. Sex ratio is 813 girls per 1000 boys [2001 census ], 60% of men are un-married in a village there ,the men are getting married to girls from other states like KERALA, ANDHRA.P , BHIAR etc .we have double standards to wards every thing one side we worship goddess and other side we kill girl child. According to new study by UNFPA says sex ratio imbalances leads to far- reaching imbalances in the society . the problem can be only solved by creatin strong social awarness and harsh punishments and also by removing biases against woman and girls.
concluding with one of my favourite poem
author- unknown
Why god made little girls
God made the world with towering trees
Majestic mountains and restless seas ,
then paused and said,
It needs one more thing ,
someone to laugh , dance and sing,
To walk in the woods gather flowers ,
To commune with nature in quite hours ,
So god made little girls
with laughing eyes, with joyful hearts
and infectious smiles ,
Enchanting ways and femine wiles ,
And when he completed ,
he was pleased and proud ,
For the world , when seen through GIRLS eyes ,
greatly resembles paradise
