Being a male dominant society,India till the half of twentieth century had not focussed on the decreasing sex ratio & other problems that were prevailing in every strata of society.Females,though ,are the future progenitor is most deprived of the two sexes.People still want to have a male child in their house due to patriarchal set up of society.It,not only prevails in the uneducated and uninformed section but also in the highly educated and sophisticated section of Indian society.Girls are still considered to be inside the four walls & unproductive in the economy.There is almost 50% of the female population who get married at the tender age of 18.What do we expect from the society where still girls are killed to please gods and goddesses.Why will god be happy at the killing of his most beautiful and responsible creature.The case worsens in the areas like Punjab and Haryana where the people are now compelled to search for the brides outside their states.The cause for this severe situation of this sex is the flaw in our ancient scriptures that portray men to be the leaders of family & women the other halves of men but which is not functional in any major process of society.This led people to the stereotype that females are only an object of beauty which can be placed in their living room at daytime and bedroom in night.According to the recent studies,it has been found out that females are more productive in stressfull situations and they are more cool minded,calm and pleasent in their behaviour when talking to clients.After the 1970 era,India has faced many revolutionary ideas implemented,which basically focussed on empowering women and providing them their very rights of dignity and freedom.Now,many programmes are in operation like indira Gandhi matratva sahyog yojna that helps conditionally to pregnant ant lactating mothers focussing on the fact that children will be healthier only when mothers are healthy.The second one is named on late Rajiv Gandhi which helps the poor girls to have their basic need meet.

The two sexes can not be at par untill each and every strata of society raise its voice against girl discrimination,and create awareness among the people that girls have equal potential to run family business and to give holy fire to dead parents you need not be son.

I urge you to create as much awareness as possible to increase our sex ratio from 927 per 1000 so as to have this most sensible,responsible species to live to its fullest.
