First of all, thank you for making female infanticide a part of your story. An ugly, bitter truth and no amount of discussion and awareness on this subject is actually enough. A vicious, vicious cycle that gets fed one way or another...
I come from the south and yes, it does happen there, but it wasn't until my visit to Rajasthan a few years back that the enormity of the situation actually hit me. more like a massive punch in the guts, really. an absolute shame to our society, especially considering where our roots originally come from.
coming to the story itself, i feel kushi's innocence, backed (i am guessing) with a lack of proper education. In spite of such events happening on a large scale, it is quite sad that young girls are not brought up street smart, but trained to serve, obey and not think much. i don't think i can add much to your prologue Deepthi, you have said it all.
Keep writing dear, look forward to the next installment...

Thank you so much for joining my story and a very warm welcome to you on behalf of SBH and its family. Coming from South, I have never heard this issue until I watched Satyamev Jayate and it broke my heart, at the same time I was ashamed for being unaware of such things in our society. I would only call it as my ignorance or as you stated lack of exposure to the outside world.
That was the time, I instantly made up my mind to address this issue in my story, at least to bring awareness to the young girls and women on this forum.
I agree with what you said about bringing girls to be streetsmart. Often parents of girls confuse themselves when it comes to protecting their daughters. In the name of protection, they end up confining them to houses in fear of outrageous cruelty happening in the society. If you dont let your child know what a "problem" is, how will she learn how to draw a "solution" to that problem.😊
Thank You once again for joining the story. By the way, We have two KKs in this thread. One is you and other is Kavitha (Canapoem).
Should I call you guys KK1 and KK2? 😉
