The half of the population which is women are still oppressed and deprived of their social rights and prestige compared to their male counterpart. The festive season is coming and Navratra are on the cards soon. We worship goddess Durga as the ultimate source of energy (power) and the creator of the whole universe. But ironically we do lots of injustice with the girls' within the same society. Their birth of a girl child is attributed with the sin or punishment and parents consider their daughters as a result of their sins. The whole mind set of the society has to be reformed because if we ignore the rights and fails to give the proper place to the girl child the society will not progress to the extent which we wants. The main cause of worry is the demon called dowry, the system prevalent in our society. This is the main concern and a parent start worrying for the marriage of their daughters soon after their birth. They don't even pay much attention for their education which is the only tool for ensuring their rights and social prestige. Now education has become expensive and the money has to be saved for their marriage is the common reply of the parents. The situation can improve if the fear of dowry demon can be removed. This is only possible by sensitizing the masses and by empowering the women by education. A girl child is as capable and talented compared to the boys if they can be given proper chance to groom and improving their skills. Then we can feel proud of them also. They have proven this many times whether it's the board examination or any prestigious competition in the recent time. There are many glorious story about them in our past also. The only thing is we should give them their due chance.
