00:00Still in small town India and rural India, the day a daughter is born, at least the financial

00:10purpose of the father's life is decided, cast in stone. Now I have a daughter.

00:18So all I am doing is saving for her wedding. And expenses do not go merely towards celebration.

00:30A lot of that is actually towards dowry. So what is the poor father doing for the next

00:3925 years since the girl is born? Just saving, saving and saving. And if he by chance happens

00:47to have three girls, think of his predicament. And now do you see that this fat wedding business

00:55is also directly related to female infanticide and feticide? Because if a daughter is born,

01:03you'll have to arrange that kind of wedding and dowry. It emerges a girl who wins a medal

01:12in a state level athletics competition. We will celebrate that. We will celebrate that.

01:26Even if she does not win a medal, she just manages to participate. We will celebrate even that.

01:34That is something that deserves our respect.
