In India, Daughters’ Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of
September. This year, the fourth Sunday falls on September 22. Daughters’ Day
is a celebration of the girl child, of the gift
a daughter is.
However,
this is mostly the case in developed countries. In India, daughters are
considered a liability, while female foeticide may no longer be prevalent in
the cities, there is always a little stigma that comes with being a girl. Girls
have proved their mettle, and are making India proud, be it PV Sindhu, Mary
Kom, Saina Nehwal, Priyanka Chopra, girls have made India proud on an
international level. Children are a
blessing, whether male, female, or other. They should be cherished daily
however it's nice to take a day out to honour them in particular .
It
is important to understand that every child is special, irrespective of their
gender, and on this day it is essential that parents make their daughter feel
loved, valued and appreciated.
One shouldn't
need a reason to celebrate children or justify a day put aside to celebrate the
blessing of a daughter. However, many unjustly patriarchal societies still view
female children as inferior to male ones. So governments of some countries, in
an attempt to encourage equality, decided to add daughter's day as a nationally
acknowledged festival. Every citizen is equal in front of the government and
law and this thinking needed to be encouraged in the people.
