Safety Surrender

We in India know about the low birth rate amongst females in our country and apart from this we know about the countless atrocities that are committed against them almost every minute. It is happening as I write this and you are reading this very blog. We talk ponder debate and yet again talk about it but do not take any particular course of action to rectify this. 

Capt. Bharat Verma wrote in an article in the Indian Defense review that we Indian by nature are very possessive about the material things in our life. He goes on to explain how many Indian authors are writing about the current conflict in Kashmir and are proposing a solution by probably seceding of Kashmir but how they would sing a different tune if it is their own property that was on the chopping block. I can totally relate this particular statement to what I am trying to articulate. 

There are many atrocities that are committed against the weaker sections of the society the most against babies who are definitely the most defenseless and weakest section of the society. It brings a tear to my eye when I read about such article in the paper and tears my heart out that I am not able to do anything about it today. 

This lead me to do a research on the vast ocean that is the internet and it lead me to read about an article on the New York Times about a clinic in Los Angeles have volunteered their time where by their able to bring together the abandoned babies and the homes which are in the needs of a baby. They collect babies from homes which do not want them and bring the to foster services which takes them to homes that would provide them with love and affection. 

This can be one of the options from which the Indian authorities can gain Inspiration but for such a situation to exists in a country like ours we have to do away with the corruptions that exists at all levels in our country which has become a way of life in our country 

We should strive to do something about it
