I have seen it in many families, even with very educated parents. When will our lovely little girls get free from such condition???? Great post! <strong>Me: Thank you so much Basanta for the appreciation. Education seems to have done little to reduce this bias. It is sad that even those that have given birth cannot see children as just children and have to differentiate them as sons and daughters when showing their affection within their own homes! Unthinkable for some of us, isn't it?? </strong> What a powerful portrayal of a cruel reality of our society! I have seen it in many families, even with very educated parents.

I still think u r a news reader. Bcoz I guess you conveniently swallowed that the girl was 8 and the boy was just 2 years old! ;) And about the "Government" intervention in the girls' education scenario. Government stepped in just to make it look like such a thoughtful action from their part to fish out votes from those ladies who "think" that was such a wonderful step in women empowerment. I wonder why did they offer special discounts to the only girl child in a family. A glance at our past can show us that if there is just one girl, the family will some how educate her. And on the contrary, if there are many, sometimes a few of them are not as much privileged as the rest of them. So why discounts to the only girl child? Please contact the Central Statistical Organization or perhaps The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation!! <strong>Me: Well, it is news to me that news-readers 'swallow' news. One lives and learns! It is up to you if you want to believe that the girl was 8 and the boy 2. ;) This is a free country I believe and anyways fiction/poetry can be interpreted freely as the reader wishes! Politicians fish votes fromf EVERY situation. That is nothing new. As to why an only girl child is given fees exemption, <em>believe it or not</em>, the Government or none of its representatives met me or asked me for my views before they took the decision. Now isn't that a serious lapse?!!!!! Much as I would like to oblige you and spring to action when you order me to, "Please contact the Central Statistical Organization or perhaps The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation!!" sadly I don't intend to. I firmly believe each of us must do our own work. :P </strong> Ha ha ha. I still think u r a news reader.
