On this Mothers Day I request all the mothers and the mothers to be, to kindly give the following a very serious thought. It is you who is responsible for our future. The child is what the mother is and the future is what the child is. A girl child is perceived as a burden to be passed on to another family. Her contribution has remained unacknowledged. The adverse attitude towards the girl child signals the catarostrophe of serious demographic imbalance and degeneration of socio-economic-political conditions. Unfortunately, the rejection of the unwanted girl begins even before her birth. Those unfortunate girls who manage to survive until birth and beyond, find the dice heavily loaded against them. Girls are denied equal access to food, health care, education, employment and even simple human dignity. Her sacrifice and dedicated services ensure the well-being of the family, but in return, she receives neglected childhood devoid of proper education and health care. I strongly feel that for a better future this mind set needs to change and the mother is the only one who can ignite this change.
