How a mother can sell her daughter in India?

DAUGHTER | Mother

This is a my try to present a true incidence in India.

I am rubina (name changed). I live in Orissa India. This is the one of poor state of India. Every year many people die here because of hunger. Last year many people die here because of consuming poisoned food. What we can do we have no option. We are going to die any way. We listened that India is progressing; people are becoming richer. Now world take the name of India with more respect. I am happy that we India are able to show our strength to the world.

However my state has not developed like the other states of India. My state is so poor that we sell children for few rupees. Where other rich people children are studying in the good school, our children start doing jobs in their home. How my state can progress, if its children are not educated. Government do lot of announcements for us, however we do not get any thing. We still the same people. Who fight every day with the hunger and death?

Last month I have given birth to two twin daughters. Now I have decided to sell one of them. The women who sell these children in city told me to give some rupees for my daughter. I love my both daughters. But I do not have money for feeding both of them. I have to sacrifice one of them for saving the other. Please help me if you can get few more rupees for my daughters because these people do not give the enough money. You may be saying how a mother can do this, but I can not see dying both of them in front of me. I pray to god that he should not do this to other children.

Very sad and hard to comprehend

A country which has tremendous wealth and poverty side by side. Shame on the Indian Government for continuing to "allow" this.
