All the Indians, indiscriminately feel proud of Mother India’s three shining daughters namely, Sakshi Malik and P.V. Sindhu for bagging the bronze medal and the silver medal respectively in the prestigious Rio Olympics 2016. Besides, even if the gymnastic girl Dipa Karmakar could not bag a medal, her efforts were worth noting, eye catching and rightly deserving tons of appreciations. This historical fact has proved that daughters are not less in any matter than the sons. After such great achievements by these three great daughters of Mother India, the anti-daughter mentality should be killed instead of the girl-child in the wombs of their mothers. In the 21st century such stupid mentality has no place. By committing such inhumane act, we are killing the would be mother. The anti-daughter people must remind themselves that his (or her) mother is (or was) somebody’s daughter only. How can they forget this fact? And therefore, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ slogan has significance.
