A short film on superstitions and rituals, which on the name of ‘religion’ and ‘society’, harasses women. In a country where people worship Lakshmi (Goddess of Money and Prosperity), Saraswati (Goddess of Education), Parvati, Annapurna, among many others tortures women on the name of religion and rituals- For what? For giving birth to a Son! In a country where people congratulate parents on the birth of a son saying, “Ghar par Lakshmi aayi hai”, few villages in our country, burn, torture, rape, physically abuse the woman who just gave birth to a daughter, citing her to be a witch. It is also a prominent “saying”, in few regions that “You will give birth to a daughter if you lie, So don’t lie!”. There are many more sayings like this that belittles the gender of females, not knowing or understanding that there is no difference between the girl child and the boy child.
