Wish of Mother Rani
It is very difficult for Rani to forget the formula which decides gender formation, ie, male/female in any species, ie, xx=xy (pair of chromosomes), which she was taught in tenth class by her biology teacher. Why this formula haunts Ms Rani till today is a million dollar question. She cannot forget how, under pressure from her mother-in-law and husband, she got herself aborted a few times, because she was carrying a baby girl. To some extent, she was also party to that awful decision.
She understands what she did was a sin—— and she was morally incorrect. But why did she take this decision? She has no concrete convincing answer to herself till today. The fact that she cannot share this black truth of her life with anyone in this world, even with her own dear and near ones, is a big pain for her. Rani knows that valid questions like—Are you mad, Rani?—What is the point in getting so much education if you can’t face the world?-etc—etc will be raised if she shares this secret with anyone, even if they are her own sisters. It is also a fact that all said and done, she is not ready to become a mother to her second daughter at any cost. When she looks back on her own journey, those sad dark patches of her life journey and unhappy experiences that make her reinforce her decision, that is what action she took was right, though it is painful for her till today.
Rani works as a helper in the canteen of a famous women's college in Delhi, and happens to get a platform for interaction with women coming from different walks of life. During many meaningful conversations, they convey to her that the time has come for Indians will study the necessary and sufficient conditions of this genetic formula, xx=xy. And very soon will implement those conditions in Indian society, in such a way that each citizen of’ India today ‘will feel pride, comfortable and will get equal rights and opportunity.
For Rani, it is nothing but a dirty joke. She knows that for states of her country like Haryana and Punjab, formula xx<xy.
Enough is enough, but Rani is still waiting after 75 years of independence, that when we Indians, who boast of our cultural, spiritual and science- technical know how heritage, will come out from these conservative believes and assure ‘Aam nari’(ordinay Indian woman) like Rani that TV serials like ‘satyamev jayte’ will not get buried in history of India. When will ’ Aam nari’ (ordinary Indian woman) get justice from her own society, and will she feel proud in giving birth to a female child?
How will this be possible? Rani always asks these questions herself. Yes! It is possible, Rani, "Didi ji’ in my college tells me, if we all sincerely salute to blessings of motherhood and count our blessings and recognize the talent, beauty and importance of a little bundle of joy and change our mental setup."
Rani is hopeful and still waiting for that new auspicious morning in her life.
