In the time, when we are flourishing vertically after the post WWII Era, and continuously flexing our
muscles of liberty, tolerance, new ideas and affection, and proclaimed ourselves as- equal in the eyes of humanity, regardless of flawed
idea of gender, cast, creed, racism etc. Half of our population (womenfolk),
even today could only ponder and wonder and marvel at the idea of absolute
emancipation for themselves. It is, as if, a child of famished face looks at
the affluent boy enjoying various flavors of ice cream in front of him.
This, half population
of the world, in some way or the other, is still tolerating or maximally
retorting a war of inhuman atrocities waged against them by so called male chauvinist in small proportion out
of rest of the human race.
On Oct11, 2012,
we have observed, the first ever “International
Day of The Girl”, not much highlighted, like any other day observed, such
as- women’s day, father's day, and mother’s day.
The idea
behind observing such days unveils the urgent-
call to keep the existence, values ,worth and morality of such issues intact.
Which otherwise would lost into unknown.
“The International
day of The Girl”, is observed under the very pressing notion that something is
operating very severely against them (Girls). Regardless the structure of nations and societies- democratic, republic,
communist, socialist or authoritative; girls always suffer the timeless
saga of travails based on 'gender- bias', Inflicted either by
their own or by the various impotent Hippocratic laws of societies .
No matter,
how many times our news channels and print media flashes the news of Sunita Williams
for her cosmic triumph or of Saina Nehwal
for her matchless dedication, to gather some proud moments
for the nation. Some proponent of corroded
mentality regurgitates the shibboleths of already obscured and suicidal customs of societies.
The recent commentaries of Ex- CM of Haryana - "people during Mughal rule used to marry their young girls early to save them from atrocities inflicted by the rulers", and of self- appointed
guardian (Khap – Panchayats) of ethics and values on recent spate of barbaric
rapes of minor girls, unfortunately, unveils the ultra- downgraded -gutter mentality of
a democratic country where, every now and then; preamble- the very sacred soul of
our constitution is being mocked .And, more surprisingly, other prominent hands
of elite class proudly puffs - out their consent by throwing all decency, common sense and human touch to the wind.
Why our soul
don't stir upon facts like - every year
ten million girls below 18 get married
off forcibly without having their say?. Why does not, an air of sense of
equality wafts from the moral education, taught in the class- rooms.
Amid such gloomy
moments, a girl named Malala Yusuf Zai
of Pakistan, who is taking on; impotent and cowardice Taliban-valiantly, with the very idea of equality and right now battling for her life ,
revives a hope – that worst has not happened yet and will not happen, if a
small step of courage taken by her is replicated in every household, by every
girl ,who only, has the birth right to decide the beautiful course of the
world.
one day, when -
one day, when -
this air,
will be mine.
one day, when-
i too,
will sing my own rhyme.
one day, when-
i will get up
out side the cage of veil.
shall be the day-
my every breath
smile.................................
