EDUCATING GIRL CHILD FOR PROTECTION AND PROMOTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN INDIA
From Jesus to Gandhi, before and after, every sublime soul has beheld divinity in juvenility. Every child comes with a message that God is yet not discouraged of his finest creation human being. Every child (specially the girl child, as she is the one who keeps the cycle of human life going on) is a special and priceless gift that we are bestowed upon with the hope that we would recognize its preciousness, respect its individuality and enable it to fulfill its abundant potential. A child, male or female has the first call upon the resources of the state as it is the future of entire human kind and advancement of the human race depends on its development.
The hallmark of culture and advancement of civilization consists in the fulfillment of our obligation to young generation by opening up all opportunities for every child, without any type of deprivement or discretion to enfold his or her personality and rise to his or her fall stature, physically, morally, mentally and spiritually.
Yet, with the March of human kind this glorious gift has suffered culpable neglect and callous cruelty for a very long time despite protests by humanists, thinkers and sages in every country. When this precious gift is not valued and respected and more often than naught is refused to be accepted (female feticide and infanticide) then are we proclaiming that we are not worthy of receiving this invaluable gift? Or are we suggesting that the earth is no more fit for human life? Or that we are no more hopeful of our future and do not wish human life to exist any more? Do we want that human life should be wiped away from the face of the earth for all times because if we don't accept a girl child how can we expect to keep the cycle of human life going on?
Survival and development of girl child for which educating her is essential is not only the question of her survival only, it is the question of survival of the entire human race and should be looked upon as such. Moreover, when girl child will be properly educated, her mental faculties adequately developed then only in her later life she will be able to realize her true self, contribute to the development of her children, family, society and nation simultaneously maintaining her dignity and true worth by standing up for and demanding her own human rights, their protection and promotion in all fields of activity.
Anandini having a great time on her Ist Birthday. She became the toast of the evening. Sad, that I lost all the pictures I clicked of her with my Digicam, and it was only Nisha who had clicked these with her Cell Phone that I could preserve as memoirs of her Ist Birthday.
