By Beena Mathur Mahatma Gandhi had once said that nature speaks through our instincts very clearly, if only we listen to her. Everything natural, every flower, leaf or tree, and every animal have important lessons to teach us if we would only stop, look and listen. There is a story about two ducks, who get into a fight. The fight never lasts long. They separate soon enough and float off in different directions.

By Rutuja Deshmukh Our culture and government are both responsible for the unpardonable treatment of the girl-child. Right from birth, they get a secondary status. They are taught to give up all claims. All individuality is hammered out of them. A deep sense of dependence is imbibed into them. The government does not provide sufficient opportunities for girls to build on their potential and develop an independent personality.
