Kathua,TDD,In a heartwarming display of changing societal norms, a family in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir, celebrated the birth of their daughter with unparalleled joy. Breaking away from age-old traditions that often associate the birth of a girl with sorrow, this family welcomed their newborn with a grand celebration.
The baby girl was born at Hospital, situated in Kathua. Overjoyed at the arrival of their little one, the father, Karan, had a beautifully decorated car waiting to take his wife and daughter home. The car was adorned with flowers, symbolizing the blossoming of a new life and the family’s immense happiness.
The family distributed sweets to neighbors and friends as a token of their joy. Ritika, the mother, expressed her gratitude, stating that she had always wished for a daughter and had been inspired by her own parents’ celebration of her birth. She emphasized that daughters are not burdens but lifelong companions.
Karan, the proud father, shared that he had made a special prayer to have a daughter and was thrilled to see his wish fulfilled. The couple’s actions have set a shining example in a society that is still grappling with gender biases. Their celebration is a testament to the changing attitudes towards daughters in India.
This heartwarming incident comes at a time when the Indian government has been actively promoting gender equality through initiatives like ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’. The Kathua family’s celebration serves as a beacon of hope, demonstrating that societal change is possible when individuals challenge traditional norms and embrace inclusivity.TDD
