Birth of A Girl………Still A Burden

Hello!
Every one needs an encouragement from someone or the other to do something good to achieve something. The person who instigated me and some of my friends expect a bit from a masculine like me.
Through this column ‘An Open Eye’….before getting misrepresented it is a duty of mine to clarify that this column is not biased by Sexual Orientation but An Open Eye wants to lead a path which our open eye ignores which is not justified by our social ethics.
                                I am not instigating any anti social feelings regarding this societal social issue. If we think that we all are equal then why there is discrimination on the basis of caste, color, creed and sexual orientation. Well !  this situation raised some questions in my mind i.e. why we want this society to become a male chauvinistic society? A male dominating society? Why males are treated equally and women are not treated equally on every aspect of today world where women are in competition with men and where reservations are given to women on every political seat.
                                                                                                                                                                   So for the first time ‘An Open Eye’ has brought up a crucial issue which still prevails in some backward and tribal areas of this incredible India. And we talk about these poor people, who haven’t seen such Modernized, socialized, cultural urban India, these people are still illiterate, they don’t know the meaning of a Birth of a girl child, they are washing their hands in that Ganga, in those traditions, in those customs and in that pathetic social rural world where if a girl child is born, they kill her because they still consider it as a burden.
                                                          So my incredible so called modernized and  socialized urban rural people, we have talked a lot about these poor rural people, now I should speak something about me , you and all of us who are literate and knows the meaning , value and importance of ‘Birth of a girl child’ but still through ‘An Open Eye’ we neglects everything. We still  become sad when a father hears that he has got a girl baby. A Dada when hears that his son’s wife has given birth to a grand daughter he or we becomes sad. For the fact this same happened in my home also. I have seen many rich families who just because they are the followers of their old traditions and customs kills their own girl child when she is born or she is in the womb of the mother. For facts as it is shown in the serial on colours i.e. ‘Naa Is Des Lado’ which is a crime under the eyes of law and under Indian Penal Code.
                                                          Why we take a ‘Birth of A Girl Child as a Burden’ can anybody answer my question .What differentiates whether a girl is born or a boy is born. Just because a father , a grand father, a great grand father need a son , a grand son , a great grand son  for holding his property as a legacy and carries it for future generation, how selfish one can become. If I talk in a legal term then according to Hindu Succession Act 2005 every daughter has equal share, equally eligible has a right and can fight for her right to hold her property from her father and from the ancestral property.
                                                    Really I always baffle whenever I used to read in the newspaper that a girl child is been killed just because her birth is been taken as a burden, it boils my young blood.
                                                        Living In the 21 century I cant understand what this orthodox society wants? If this continues then in spite of living in this incredible modern 21  stage world, we will be on the path of demotion, we are living in a democratic social world where birth of a girl child is taken as a of goddess’ Lakshmi’  and killing a girl by taking it as a burden is not ethical, it is not at all justified in the eyes of law. Remember ‘if nothing is right,  doesn’t mean everything is wrong.
                                                                                                                                                                                 Kindly find answers if you have ethics in this modern 21 century.
