A Boy or a Girl? Does it Matter?

A boy child & a girl child have been treated differently by Indian parents since ages. A desire of having a 'son' rather than a 'daughter' is still there in most parts of the country, especially the small towns! Do you agree with this ? Did you also want a 'baby boy' when you were pregnant? Why do you think our society has this preference for having sons & how can it be changed?

it's OK for me if it is a girl or boy. Both are equal according to me. Some of the old school people think that having a boy will protect them in the future but it is not true. Even a girl can take care of there old parents

Parents treat both equally but a day comes when they are made realised that they are parents of girl child... which is marriage time.
Aj bhi kitna bhi girl ko layek bna do,pdha do fir bhi agar Sadi parents ko dhundhni pade to Bina dowry koi baat bhi nhi karna chahta.
Jabtak dowry system h,girls ki preference Kam he rahegi
