Baby Afreen was born three months back to mom Reshma Bano at Bangalore. Baby Afreen died last month after a cardiac arrest.
What makes this news any different from the numerous babies dying at hospitals across India or anywhere for that matter?
Baby Afreen was mindlessly attacked by her father for being born a girl and not a boy. One tiny life snuffed out for no mistake of hers nor her mother's.
We were 4 daughters born to our parents. All of us girls survived and all of us were educated till 25/26 years, way back when girls were married off at 19. Thanks to our parents for not doing away with our lives when we were still tender babies, when we could not defend ourselves in any way, just because we were all born girls.
Thanks mom. Thanks dad in heaven.
