00:00What is the ideal way for India to raise its daughters?

00:04Garments, even for 4-year-old girls, are more expensive than those for 4-year-old boys.

00:11It's as if both the parents and the girl are being messaged

00:17that the girl's worth lies in her body and therefore her garments.

00:22As long as you are saying I am raising a daughter, it's a daughter you will raise.

00:27Why must a responsible mother ever introduce lip gloss to her daughter?

00:33Is that not very very violent of her to introduce the daughter to lip gloss

00:38or to costumes that are very feminine?

00:41Learning is the purpose of her life. Growth is what she is born for.

00:45She does not exist to serve the husband or the kids or somebody else.

00:50Her primary purpose is to serve her own existential internal need.
