The Conscience Crisis in Indian Parenting”

“Matru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava” — Mother is God, Father is God

This ancient Vedic mantra is one of the first values taught to an Indian child. It conveys a deep message of reverence, gratitude, and unquestioned respect toward parents.

But as a society, while we are taught to worship our parents as divine, we must now confront a painful question:

Have Indian parents truly acted like God? Or are many simply demanding god-like respect without god-like responsibility?
Let’s Confront the Truth

A Terrorism That Happens at Home 
Since the 1990s, over 10 million female fetuses have been aborted in India — victims of our obsession with sons.

Chilling Parallel:

Terrorists kill for religious supremacy.
Parents kill daughters for gender supremacy — to feel powerful by producing a boy.

Like terrorism thrives on secret ecosystems — so does female foeticide, rooted in:
•Cultural conditioning
•Social pressure
•Political silence

And like terrorists in Kashmir who confessed to murders but roamed free for years, similarly  
parents who abort daughters still enjoy social status and respect.

Where is the condemnation?
Where is the accountability?

The Ultimate Hypocrisy 
"Jeev Hatya is Mahapap" — Taking a life is the greatest sin, says the Hindu scriptures.

Yet many who abort daughters perform pujas, lead rituals, and seek divine blessings — without guilt.

This is not just a contradiction.
It is spiritual fraud.

Worse still, society doesn’t even call them what they are — murderers.
No one dares to ask:
“What right did you have to kill that child?”

These individuals are often respected — as if nothing happened.

Law Can Control — But Only Conscience Can Change the Heart
Yes, in recent years, the government has taken strong steps to reduce female foeticide.

The “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” campaign helped spread awareness and stopped many such crimes.

But think for a moment —
Why do we even need a slogan like “Save the Daughter, Educate the Daughter”?

What kind of society needs to be told not to kill its own daughters?

This slogan is not something to feel proud of.
It’s a sign of how sick our mindset had become.

The fact that such a campaign was necessary is a shame for all of us.
It shows how far we had fallen — where daughters were not even allowed to be born. 

A Question We Ignore to Ask
Now that female foeticide is banned, daughters are being born.
But what happens after birth?
What happens in families where the third or fourth child is also a girl — when all they wanted was a boy?

What kind of life will these girls live — in a home where their birth brings disappointment?

And what about the mother — who is silently blamed, insulted, or emotionally tortured for giving birth to daughters?

The law may have stopped the killing.

But who will save these girls — and their mothers — from the emotional violence that follows?
And this is the deeper danger — because laws can control the hand,
But only conscience can transform the heart.

✨ Final Thought:

So, “In India, Parents Are Not God — But They Can Try to Be Human.”

We don’t need perfect parents.
We need empathetic ones — who choose:

•Listening over shouting
•Love over control
•Support over status

That is divine enough.

A National Day of Remorse: Honoring the Unborn
India celebrates countless days of pride and joy.

But when will we mourn the millions of unborn daughters we failed?

Let’s declare a National Black Day for Female Foeticide — to:

•Mourn our daughters
•Apologize to their souls
•Educate the next generation

Take a vow — Never Again

Only when we remember we can truly repent.
Only when we repent  we can change.


🚨 Call to Action: Break the Silence — Begin the Change

If this blog stirred something in you —
not just guilt for the past, but concern for the present,
then don’t let it end here.

💬 Share your voice in the comment box below.
Sometimes, one honest thought can open another person’s eyes.

📢 Talk about it — in your home, your community, your circle.
Start conversations that we’ve been afraid to have.

🧭 Observe the subtle signs — a taunt to a mother of daughters,
a preference for sons masked as tradition,
a silent disappointment when a girl is born.

These moments are not small.
They are the seeds of discrimination — and it’s up to us to stop watering them.

🔁 If this message speaks to you, share it.
Let it reach the people who need to hear it — not to shame them, but to wake them.

Because real change won’t come from the sky.
It will come from conscience to conscience,
home to home,
heart to heart.

Let’s not just remember what went wrong.
Let’s refuse to repeat it.

When Evil Wears the Mask of Goodness: A Psychological Trap

🌑 The Origin of Evil’s Deception In the beginning, evil was rejected. It was ugly, selfish, and raw—too obvious to deceive anyone. It had no fans, no charm, and no admiration. But evil is not foolish—it is observant. It began watching the divine : •How it speaks. •How it behaves. •How it gives, forgives, and glows with authenticity. Evil was mesmerized by how the divine attracted people—not through force, but through love and righteousness. So evil decided to imitate . But it didn’t change its inner nature . It only wore the outer garments of goodness. Thus began the most dangerous illusion in human society: The imitation of goodness without the transformation of conscience. This is what we now call: Image Building . 🌍 Where This Illusion Exists Today We see it everywhere: •In homes , where toxic relatives pretend to be loving while manipulating. •In workplaces , where people act supportive but secretly sabotage others. •In politics , where leaders speak of justice but crave control...

Where Are the Roots of Corruption—and How Is It Similar to Addiction?

Let’s Explore the Truth When we talk about corruption in politics, education, or government offices, we often treat it as a problem at the top. But the real roots of corruption lie elsewhere—deep in our classrooms . Corruption doesn’t begin in a minister’s cabin or a government department. It begins in the exam hall—with a whisper, a hidden chit, or a stolen glance at a friend’s answer sheet. We casually call it “helping a friend.” HOW THE SEED IS SOWN It all starts with a distorted idea of smartness and kindness : •A student cheats and calls it clever. •A friend helps someone cheat and calls it loyalty. •A teacher looks away, thinking it's harmless. But this is the beginning of moral compromise. Children begin to internalize dangerous messages: •“Success matters more than honesty.” •“If everyone does it, it must be okay.” And slowly, the brain rewires. What once felt wrong now feels routine—and even justified. This is how the foundation of corruption is quietly laid, long before a...

The Illusion of Conspiracy: A Journey from plotting to Collapse

In today’s world, conspiracies are no longer rare. From boardrooms to family feuds, from politics to friendships, the art of secret plotting is often glorified as Cunningness. But what lies beneath this cunning mask is a path of inner destruction. This blog explores the nature of conspiracy, the mind of a conspirers, and the silent collapse of their Core, despite outward success. 🔍 What Is a Conspiracy, Really? A conspiracy is not just a secret plot — it’s a betrayal of truth. It involves: •Secrecy: Hiding intentions.  •Collusion: Plotting with others.  •Manipulation: Twisting perceptions.  •Self-interest: Gaining control at any cost.  But what is the cost? The cost is your peace, your character, and your Core. 🧠 Why Do People Conspire? The Psychology Behind It Every conspiracy is born from a mental weakness. These are the real causes: 1. Desire for Control They want power, but  not through honesty — they seek shortcuts. 2. Fear and Insecurity They fear losing...

The Evil of Appeasement: How It Spreads and Harms Society

We often hear the term " appeasement " in political debates, especially when one party accuses another of favouring a particular group to secure votes. But have we ever paused to think—where does appeasement begin? Is it only a political strategy, or has it quietly seeped into every layer of our society? This is not just a political issue. It’s a psychological pattern, a social evil, and a habitual culture—and it starts from our very homes. 1. The First School: Home and Family At home, appeasement often takes a gendered form. Parents—knowingly or unknowingly—appease the boy child, while neglecting or over-disciplining the girl child. The son is often forgiven, pampered, and given excuses, while the daughter is expected to be obedient, sacrificing, and responsible. This imbalance creates two kinds of individuals: The boy learns that strength and power bring respect and privileges. The girl learns that to be accepted and to have her needs met, she must please those in power. I...

Patriarchy Is Not About Men—It’s About Power Without Righteousness

We often talk about patriarchy as a system that oppresses women and favors men. While this traditional understanding holds a large part of the truth, it is limited. The real problem runs much deeper—and unless we understand its root, we will keep fighting symptoms instead of the disease. Let’s take a journey to redefine patriarchy—not just through the lens of gender, but through the lens of justice and righteousness —and their absence. 🔹 Phase 1: Traditional Understanding of Patriarchy Patriarchy has long been understood as a social structure in which men dominate—economically, politically, religiously, and socially. This is absolutely true. This view sees patriarchy as: A system where men inherit power, and women are reduced to submissive caregivers. A culture that leads to female infanticide, lack of education, bride burning, dowry harassment, and the suppression of women’s voices. A world where gender roles are rigid, and women are often denied autonomy. Feminist movements arose t...
