ਬੇਟੀ ਕਾ ਬਾਪ - ਕੇਸਰਾ ਰਾਮ | Beti Ka Baap - Kesra Ram | Book : Zanani Paud | ਕਿਤਾਬ : ਜ਼ਨਾਨੀ ਪੌਦ

Описание: Kesra Ram, an award winning and influential story writer, uses brilliant satire to expose, contrast, and criticize the beliefs and behaviors of people living in Haryana’s complex and rapidly changing economic, political, and social reality. He deftly tackles the controversial subject of gender selection and preference for boys, and the varying degrees of conscious decision making by the characters involved. He demolishes the myth that only the poor abort female fetuses.

The title of the story Beti Ka Baap (Father of a Girl), is both a belittling and taunting expression in the local vernacular for a man with only a daughter. Two couples are contrasted in their attitudes towards centuries old traditions. Dr. Amit wants his wife, Professor Manju, a college lecturer, to bear him a son. But Dr. Ranbir Malik is happy distributing sweets even on the birth of his third daughter.
