Woman, God’s most beautiful creation on earth is a symbol of W – wisdom, O – origin, M – motherhood, E – energy and N – nectar. The combination of these qualities is the rising sum of every nation. In short everything good in this world comes from women. The origin of a child is mother and that is nothing but a woman. When God created man he also created woman because he knew that man alone could not sustain the world.

The primary school of a child is his home. The first teacher of a child is his mother. A child first of all comes in contact of this mother. The first lesson which a child learns is given by his mother. A mother teaches her child to speak; she holds his finger and teaches him to move on his foot. Any dictionary does not have words enough to define ‘mother’. In fact, she is the most precious creature in the world. She is next to God. She is a procedure, a protector and a provider, a power of tolerance, an embodiment of love and affection and epitome of integrity, understanding and sacrifice and so many other qualities wrapped in one. She always has enough enthusiasm to carry out her duties, to take care of her children and make sacrifice for them. All her love is for her children. Love, sacrifice, care and tolerance she shows for them, is a lesson for her children. Without her presence survival of family is unimaginable.

As without a place for worship in the home peace cannot be felt, the same way without mother home does not seem like a home. She takes care of each and every member of the family. She is the only person in home who maintains a system and discipline in family. Without mother a home becomes no less than a jungle. She is the first person in family to induce in her children a sense of right or wrong. We can quote an example of Mother Teresa who did not give birth to any child but still is called ‘Mother’ by all. She had all the motherly qualities; hence people loved and respected her as a mother.

We all know that today’s girl would be tomorrow’s mother. Then why there is large-scale discrimination against women? Why women are treated as second class citizens since their birth? Why is the desire for a son so strong in every family in India? We even deny the girl child the right to be born! And her only crime is that SHE IS A GIRL! Is girlhood a stigma? Can we dream of a society with just male population? This is not the end of discrimination. The atrocities against women start even before they are born. With the connivance of greedy doctors, thousands of parents in certain parts of the country, in their eagerness to have sons only, get rid of daughters through sex determination test; indulge in the crime of female foeticide. Why do we possess such a dual approach to women?

All such discrimination against a girl or a woman should be stopped because every girl has to be mother one day. There should be no discrimination in education of a girl and a boy. Only an educated and sanskaarvan mother can give good lesson and sanskar to her children. She would be physically and mentally fit. It is absolutely correct to say that when women moves, the family moves, the society moves and the nations moves.
