But when we looked upon the sex –ratio in India it provide us a horrifying scenario – 927 girls to 1000 men , a much shameful proportions despite various measures taken up by the government and different NGOs working against gender discriminations. The skewed mindset of Indian population – wanting a male child , and fearing the birth of a female child is a major hindrance in this regard. The most disturbing fact being the practice of female foeticide as even today , the girl child is aborted and thrown wrapped in black polythene bags in gutters . Not only this , little girls are abandoned or murdered after birth , left at the hospitals they were delivered in , on railway platforms and orphanages .Girl child are victim of child trafficking , child labour , child marriage and are even force to prostitution at a very early age , deprieving them of their freedom n childhood . In today’s world , where a woman , Mrs.Pratibha Patil , is our president and when everyone is talking about women empowerment , even educated women in desire to have a male child resorts to female child abortion. Girls are being treated as a mere objects of pity , sympathy and someone with no values of thier own . Here in India , Goddesses are being worshipped and people seek their blessings in everyday life , yet on the other hand girls are considered to be a burden and in many customs , girls child are used to be sacrificed to appease Gods and Goddesses. I being a girl myself truely feels that the time has come to ring a warning bell against the injustice and discrimination girls in the society are facing and take up the great initiative to save the girl child- to provide a promising future to her . The time to wake up to reality and reach out from our busy life to the yet un-enlightened and un-informed , biased members of our society to make that change where every girl child has the right to live a life with dignity , grace , get equal opportunities as every other person and enjoy her life to the fullest and nothing should impede such endeavours . Let us all join hands and give a true tribute to the girl child where every girl child is to celebrate eachday of her life as the “ Day of the Girl Child “&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4331369606259945017-5608106845936760518?l=merceworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://merceworld.blogspot.com/feeds/5608106845936760518/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://merceworld.blogspot.com/2010/02/save-girl-child-future-progenitor-of.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4331369606259945017/posts/default/5608106845936760518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4331369606259945017/posts/default/5608106845936760518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://merceworld.blogspot.com/2010/02/save-girl-child-future-progenitor-of.html' title='SAVE GIRL CHILD – the future progenitor of human world'/><author><name>merce-doing a bit of my share</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18420025952235260662</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z2eIa0XqEfw/S1FgcxwYenI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0bgwBYgote8/S220/Mcy+blue+shrt.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z2eIa0XqEfw/S2ex0HsrkfI/AAAAAAAAABY/NwXDt3khQzM/s72-c/save-girl-child.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331369606259945017.post-1154667481674062640</id><published>2010-01-30T20:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-30T20:45:06.875-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Pung Cholom</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z2eIa0XqEfw/S2UKq-kqXvI/AAAAAAAAABQ/7EcsWKDrXm0/s1600-h/astadeb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;
