obviously, some indian parents treated sons are assets and daughter are liabilities for them.but due to education and knowledge, more people understand very clearly.They believe that sons and daughters are same.They recognise that they are two eyes of a parents.

yes absolutely. since this concept has been drilled in their mindsets for a long period of time it will really be difficult to try to change it. however it's our duty now to teach our children the right thing.

In today's society, if we consider our generation it's a 60-40 ration I would say where 60% consider both son and daughter equally but the rest 40% still looking for a guy to take the bloodline ("vansh") ahead. How much ever we say we have past ahead that thought but honestly we didn't. It's a kind of thought process that still people are happily and proudly carrying from previous generations. It's high time we change our mindset and treat both daughters and sons equally. 🙏

not parents but grandparents n relatives does think that daughter's are liabilities n sons are assets. I gave birth to my angel but reaction was from in laws was "asude" in marathi. my sister in law gave birth to son n they all were very happy . I took my daughter to my in laws house after 8 long month but they were only affectionate towards that boy never baught any toy or even dress. in indian society nowadays after one boy they will accept girl child but if first child is a girl they are eagerly waiting for " varis " a boy. I wanted only one child my daughter but do you think my in laws will not intervene.

if you really want to know the answer ask how many women has birth control operation after one girl child . as a mother n father their children are everything to them regardless of gender. our society parents used to educate only sons so that they can get a job n take care of them in future. n girls are married early after that boy gets a job n can manage his sister's wedding cost.i can say this cause I married that son. that's why I decided never see profit in ur children. they are not investment for our future or old age . boys also having burden of their parents to bear all the cost of their sister wedding then every other little things. let our children be our present happiness n not our future support.
