CAMPAIGNING FOR REMOVAL OF FEMALE INFANTICIDE
Female infanticide is very common in many place of the country. People wishes for male child and adopt various method to have male child. Some questions always arise in my mind, such as how can a female abort a female child? How is she unable to understand the happiness a female child gives? How can she be so unkind to a new unborn baby? How can she forget that she herself is a female? Why doesn’t she think that if she would have been aborted by her parents during her birth time then?
Sometimes I think that she might be asked to do such crime under the dominance of her family or husband but still I think, doesn’t she have the dare to make her family understand? These all questions remain unanswered forever.
I also think that this happens mainly because of the poor thinking; people do not have the ability to think broadly. They think for themselves and for their own fortune. Why don’t they think that getting every baby is important and cheerful phase of life? There should not be any discrimination between genders. God have made genders for the different reasons such as different genders (males and females) act as a couple and stand in every obstacle together, they help each other, and they live for each other.
Just think once about only existence of male or females around the world, is it possible for one to survive? I don’t think so, the reason is simple, and women are associated with some work of life that men can’t do such as household work, care for her family, bringing up children. Can we expect this kind of roles from men? If yes, will they perform as efficiently as a woman does? Now answer is no. Everybody needs to accept the fact that women play a major role and their work is as equivalent and important to any other work done by men.
Even our Indian history has got so many female leaders who stood against so many men for the independence and freedom. Not only Indian histories but think about various women such Indira Gandhi, who did good things for the nation. Think about females who are involved in various sports, which are equally played by men. Today, if you look around, you will see various girls in different schools and colleges, who are learning and scoring same or more than boys. Then what is the need of cursing a female child? Why is it required? What makes you think that female child should be aborted?
Just try to think; if we give same importance and treatment as boys to girls, then don’t you think country’s productivity will be enhanced? It will increase the contribution to country’s development.

Terrific!I loved your reflection. Also the fact that you have chosen to highlight what is a major evil in India. Sensitivity towards this issue and bringing about realization is important. So, carry on with the noble cause.

Thankyou,sir. But i really wonder,who will answer these questions. I really want something to be done against this issue.
Why don't you organise a presentation for the school to witness about this topic? You could talk to your DP Coordinator or the Activity Coordinator and see if it is feasible. Or else, you could also have a in-class presentation with all the DP students present. I will be more than willing to spare one of my periods for this. You could also ask/request Roscoe if he is willing to spare his. That way, you could have a block of two periods to present your case and have a round of discussion afterwards.
This is just a suggestion from my side.
