Ladki hui heh Its a girl

Last week a friend of mine who is a doctor told me that  in the hospital where she works, a woman left her baby girl, born only two days before. It caused great  alarm in the hospital. Police was informed, the address which they gave at the time of admission  is also fake.This is not the only case of baby girl, being left like this. They are left in lonely places. Is it not unfortunate that baby girls are discarded in such a shameless manner!
                        I am not going into the statistics of this cruel and harsh practice.I am only very much moved by this unsocial and weird practice.  It is  a great consolation that the child was not strangulated  At least here the wretched parents showed mercy on the poor creature.
             The reason for this evil practice is mainly economical and social.  The society looks down upon a female  child. The religious  practice of favouring the son to perform the last rites of a deceased   parent is in question. Moreover, marriage of a girl child entails lot of money and property which the poor parents can ill afford to spend. The dowry system, which was banned long ago, is still practiced. The poor girl is not treated as a human being  but as an object to be disposed as early as possible.
        On the positive side the worth of a girl child is undeniable.Well treated the girl child  can become the darling  of the house. The girl child is always attached to the parents notwithstanding  her marital status, whereas the loyalty of a son depends  on his wife. This is a hard fact of life. Lucky are we that not only our daughter and son in law,but also have  a devoted son and a daughter in law. I am proud to say that ours is a lucky family in all respects and I am not forgetting our  dear grand children.
