Eight years ago in 2005, Manish Jha
wrote and directed, Matrubhoomi, a film that examines the impact of female
foeticide and female infanticide on the gender balance, and consequently the
stability and attitudes of society. Its story seems a little too over the top
to most – How can there be no women left in this world. The movie depicts a
simple scenario of what might happen if there are no women left in the nation.
One by one every girl child born is fed
into boiling milk like dry-fruit toppings, killed ruthlessly and mercilessly.
No wonder the village is left with NO absolutely no women. There's chaos
everywhere, Men want women like a little boy wants ice-cream. Desperate for any
thing to satisfy their as we call in it in Hindi hawas, even cows aren't
spared. And suddenly by god’s grace a woman is found, whats in store for her is
nothing less than a living hell.People learn from mistakes, they say.
Unfortunately thats in fantasy.Rapes, abuses and tortures seem like eating
chocolates when compared.Sold by her father for 5 lakh and 5 COWS, married to five
brothers, shared like an apple sliced into 5 parts oops 6 parts, even
her father in law wants a piece of her- getting an additional 1 lakh for her
father when he writes to him about it. Bound like a Cow, she is raped and
raped and tortured. The climax does give justice to her but also brings about
the end of every living being in the village except her and her little girl
child.

Desperation- Ego- MEN haven’t been
depicted more evil ever…
The movie ends and you feel a relief that this is fiction, but its now true fact of society. In Rajasthan, people buy girls from poor families and are shared by all the men of the families Can you think of the psychology of that female…..
What a shame! How can a parent kill its
own child with its own hands?
The main reason for killing a girl
child in womb is “Dowry”.
Common Man’s mentality: If it's a girl child,
we will have to spend first on her education and then on her marriage and dowry
... It doesn't stop there. We will also have to meet some of her expenses after
marriage. How I wish I could get a son
When will it stop? Dowry system in the
society, in the name of dowry, not only uneducated female but also educated
females are harassed every minute. We are the land, where we pray goddess
Lakshmi for our wealth and kill the daughter in law for wealth. What is govt or
any individual doing to stop all this against women, for dowry, for female
foeticide. Just watch and be blind
I conclude at end, one has to look out
for one self, govt and society can help you for time being, get yourself and
your daughters educated, self-defensive (karate, Judo).
Line from Bhagwad
Geeta: Bearing injustice is an equal crime as doing it.
Females, Why do you take the
harassment? You are equally at fault, if you are not raising your voice against
the violence. Raise it for your own good!!! Learn to be independent, you are
not a weaker sex, you have all the rights to enjoy the freedom of decision
making.
