4. • Although we are living in 21st
century
and considered ourselves very
modern but the realities are
different or we can say ground
realities are different.People still
treat their girl child as a second
grade ward.They only want to
provide education to their sons not
daughters.When we saw this it was
incredible sight for us.The girl child
are only for household chores and
they have no right to get
education.These girl children are
forced by their parents to do
domestic works.

5. • It was a spot of shame for this civilized
society.Are this girl child born for
domestic chores,they have no rights to
go ahead.The illiteracy among female
means a country which is going
towards ruins.It means in future we will
not have female
doctors,teachers,engineers,civil service
officers and good leaders.will able to
see Indira Gandhi(Iron lady), former
PM of our country,Kiran Bedi(1st
IPS),Kalpana Chawala(astraunaut).The
situation will be worse if timely action
cannot be taken.
