Newpaper or TV channels will never report it.
But today ,when the commercial advertisements are boasting of Motherhood and singing paeans to mothers,
many young mothers would be toiling hard to make two ends meet.
These mothers work as domestic aid, daily wage workers etc.
Unlike modern mothers,they work in order to survive without any substantial support from any one.
They donot have luxury of holiday,male friends,pay andperks.
All they get is brutal beating, sneers and often escapism from their husbands.
But,they keep on working without any fear or favour.
Today one may hardly watch a social advertisement which speaks against female infanticide.
Last week, Times Of India reported,how a small village in Rajashtan will watch a marriage after decades.
Well, this village is infamous for female infanticide.So, what difference will it make today.As one sociologist put it, '' rural or urban Women have no choice over their bodies".Ironically,this also happens to be state which talks about strong women politicians!
One may also read about old women who are thrown out of their own homes by sons,daughters and daughters in law.Few months back, a grand son left his grand ma near garbage bin in Chennai .After few stories, news impact died!
One can also read about mothers who are brutally assualted by their own sons.Voilence against oldparents has become norm,but few report against it.
Finally, today is birth day of Ganges,But how many remember it.We use our sacred mother as collector of our sins and later forget about it.Few care that Ganges is in very pathetic condition.
Forget about motherday, we reside in a nation,where Vandemantram is seen as a religious song, F... k your Mom is an accepted abuse and mothers are seen as the best USP of any commercial campaign !
