NA AANE IS DESH LAADO.....

"Chori Janmi Chori.............Paar lagaa Do....Jeeyegi toh bojh ban ke....."says the promos of an upcoming TV programme in a popular channel.....Another programme demonstrates the marriage of a girl child and then snatching away the basic right of education from her.......I now wonder......Is this the country that is on its way of becoming a superpower? A country where such gruesome traditions are still followed....Does it make any sense to kill a new born child just because she belongs to the female gender? Unfortunate but true......These barbarities are still prevalent in many parts of remote India.This just proves that India is so backward in so many aspects....The only tonic which is going to cure India from these gruesome atrocities is education....Yes..It may sound clichéd...But a great grief resides in my heart...Even in the 21st century...One of the basic necessities of humans...i.e. education is still being deprived to so many sects of society....We are all so busy accumulating wealth and glorifying our resumes that we tend to overlook our nation as a whole. But a few initiatives like "The Teach India Movement" have to a very small extent tried India to make a better place to live in...There is only one small hitch...Let's educate the parents as well...not only the children...Only then wil India become a super power in its true sense...
