Saving the Girl Child
Saying boys and girls are equal can't change the mind of the people in our surrounding. These always remain in speeches and saying.
But the ground reality is that even today girls and boys are not considered equal in our society. This may be due to lack of education and their cheap thinking.
Going through a column I saw that a baby girl of one year was left at the railway station by their parents. This is so shameful for all of us that in the era of technology and modernisation, we people have thoughts and mindset like this.
We need to change our mindset. We will have to make the people understand that don't discriminate between a boy and girl.

Answer:
Killing the Princess
By Neeraj Bhardwaj
A girl child is like a princess who is born into a family to liberate them. She is also like a Goddess, through whom next generation springs up. A girl child can be compared to many gt.eat things, but our society does not believe that a girl gives birth to a prosperous nation. People prefer to have a male child born in their family. Some of the people in the urban areas get female foetus aborted while in the rural areas, where people do not have the facility of ultrasound, people kill the girl child after birth. It’s a very cruel act and hard,to believe, but it is happening in our country, in a larger magnitude than we can imagine.
Equality is a Fundamental Right, but where is the gender equality when one million girls are killed every year before birth itself. It’s high time that we all get together and save the girl child in India as time is running out. The disastrous consequences of the disturbed boy-girl ratio, is very much round the corner. Soon a time will come when boys will not find girls to get married. Girls will simply vanish from sight. To prevent this from happening, we must put an end to this social evil of killing the girl child whether in the womb or outside. A small step taken today will definitely become a giant leap tomorrow. We have to create an awareness in the society about the sad state of girls in the Indian society. We can also highlight the achievements of the successful Indian women in different fields. This might change the attitude of the society, against women.
