America has long back claimed that India is a developed country. It is a very sad thing that still there is gender discrimination in India. The women are given secondary treatment in the office and at home too. They are refused opportunities in all respects. Thesad part about discrimination is it starts even before the birth of a woman, right at the stage of fetus. India has been cursed with the serious problem of female foeticide. In many parts of the country girls are killed in the fetus stage only. A mother's womb is the most secure place, but even there a woman is now not safe. Perfectionist Aamir Khan highlighted this issue I on his program called “Satyamev Jayate” on Star TV dated 06/05/2012, this stirred the whole country. This research essay is a reaction to the same. | | Keywords : | | |
