    Namaskaar Amir khan ji…. Meri abhi 5 mahine pahle saadi hui h or kuch din pahle hi mujhe pata vhla ki meri wife pregnent hai…. Usne samaaj k vichar sun rakhe the jo log aksar ek ladki hone par kahte h…. Vo ek din mujhe boli ki agar ladki hui to…. log kya kahenge ….. Maine kaha tum logo ki chinta chhod do or is aane vali nanhi si jaan ki or apno fikr karo….. Agar hame ek ladki hogi to hum sochenge ki hame ladka hua hai… Kyoki aaj kisi bhi field me ladkiya ladko se peeche nahi hai…. Agar hame ladki hoti hai to hame us par utna hi garv hoga jitna ek ladka hone par hota hai…..
    Satyamev Jayate……

    Thank you very much for taking such a noble cause of mankind for awakening us.
    I do not want to get rid of relation with mother at any cost throughout my existence infinitely. Her love at par excellence will guide me to abandon the undesirable needs and destiny. She never gave even hint for fulfilling unhealthy wishes for the sake of me. Let all mothers including would be mothers in all times are respected as God sent guardian of first rank by all children of mothers in this universe.
    I love girl and take care of these would be mothers in the interest of both son and daughters.

    It is really a noble cause. All people including Indians will ultimately understand the meaning of girl child. Truthfully, girl child or daughter or grand-daughter is the mother that we can say “would be mother”. Whereas, male child or son or grandson is the wonderful support to the mothers’ family. Therefore, first relation in this world for us is mother and child where mother is supreme for both male as well as female children. It is the mother who had given us noble personalities in the form of both male and female in this world we know. Therefore, we have to reach beyond comparison between male and female for understanding the role of mother and then role of this girl child in making our society full of joy with all healthy traditions for our healthy life in all respects including body health, working health, relations’ health, character’s health, health of fearlessness. health of mutual respect and health of justice.
    Thanks for the initiative in the direction required by all in the prevailing circumstances.

    ye show ek dum zindagiyon ke nazdeek hai jo kuch bhi hum apne aas paas dekh rahe hain use rokne ki nahin balki finish karne ki shuru wat hai. main ek real story share karna chati hoon meri apni real sister jiske paas 2 pyari-2 betiyan hain ek 10 saal ki aur ek 3 saal ki jo 3 saal ki hai uski ek eye mein itni chot aayi hai per ki dr.ne mana kar diya tha ki we can’t save her eye per usne himmat nahin hari sister ko 7 mahine ho gaye hain uska proper treatment karwate hue abhi tak us ke liye 1.50 lakh rs.lag chuke hain per use abhi 1 saal aur lag jayega .so in last main ye kehna chati hoon ki jahan log apni betiyon ko paida hone se pehle maar dete hain wahin kuch log apni betiyon ko save karne ke liye apna sab kuch daav per laga dete hai.i salute to my sister.hum is muhim mein aamir ji ke saath hain. aur jo log is galat kaam ka saath dete hain unke liye naye kanoon paas hone chaiye .taaki log galat kaam karne se pelhle 10 baar soch lein.

    Amir Sir, I’m proud of being a girl and in my home everybody loves me a lot. Just have seen the 1st episode and I eagerly want to join a campaign where I would be able to save a girl child as well. I’ve sent instantly 4 messages to support you. Our support is with you and with all the people who fought and are still fighting against all these. Satyamev jayate -Sreeji Chatterjee from Kolkata
