In the age, when we are considered as intellectually well equipped species than others on this planet,, it certainly seems that we have decided to offer a tight competition to our fellow species, by practicing some animal- like deeds.
We are, these days confronting
with endless string of shameful acts that how a baby girl of merely few months
, has been abandoned or killed by their parents either out of their
long- standing archaic aspiration of having baby boy instead of a girl or of
their illegitimate relationship .Since the unfortunate case of baby
Falak, who finally left for heavenly abode after painful suffering in hell (our
society) we are seeing no end of such inhumane deeds; just a recent case of
baby Afreen who was brutally and forcefully consumed tobacco by his
monster father in senseless aspiration of having a baby boy.
In the time, when we assume or believe
that such incidents germinates just because of illiteracy, ignorance and
stereotype mentality among mass, and more rampant in remote and under developed
areas, the emerging irony is that the recent cases similar to these
have been constantly executed in most modern cities of India - Delhi/Ncr, Bangalore
etc (well reputed as IT hub of the country).Well, this is alarming.
In Gurgaon; the hot IT hub
of India and most vulnerable place for females of all ages as well;
in recent time, almost every week, there has been a case of abandoned girl
child who is either rendered to bruised or physically unwell condition,
generally found in dump.
Today, we outspokenly debate over even a mild
case of human right violation. But unlikely, we as a society and as an individual
respond towards such heinous practice and those potential perpetrators in a
very impotent manner.
It is just a false assurance for us given by ourselves
that a deterrent law can stop such malign act immediately, or frivolous public
debate on news channels at prime time can bring a paradigm - shift overnight in
our thinking. Instead, we should not forget that such demonic act
of abandoning a child and many similar to this gets
encouragement in a family where human values and respect for life are not
taught during their upbringing.
Baby Falak and baby
Afreen couldn't find their heaven where it prevails but instead
somewhere else where they shouldn't. Lets begin with a tender smile for
them and offer it to other baby Falak and Afreen who are yet to open their eyes in
this world.
