In "Girls" by Mrinal Pande, the narrator is treated with discrimination by her grandmother and the society for being a girl. She is given less importance, denied education, and considered a burden due to the preference for male children in the family. The treatment reflects the deep-rooted gender biases and inequality prevalent in Indian society.
The mother is the main character in the story.The whole story revolves around her.She was very upset due to her girls.
Only you can say which character you like most -- nobody else can answer this question.
at the end of the story when the narrator yells asking if people don't love girls why do they pretend to worship them? shows the fate role of girls in the story as well as in Indian Socity
in the story girls it tells us that till now girls are not treated properly as the boys they are told to to always bend and live and not given the respect as boys .only on the day of worshipping girls all worship girls for just formality .
Girls by mrinal pande is an extremely thought provoking story which focuses on the male dominant indian socitey and how girl child is considered as taboo and a burden upon the mother. The fact that the story is dictated by a 8 year old girl makes it even more influencial on the readers . As the story progresses the readers are aclamtized too the female criticisive remarks by the various charecters in the essay I.E maa , nani, masi , maami few events which highlight the unjust treatment of the feamle children are : the train incident , Eavesdropping (unintentional) of the child , ashtami incident etc . Various sentences said by the child reflects the real ugly face of the female criticisive socitey from my point of view the most important 1 would be "when you people dont love girls , whydo you pretend to worship them.?" After reading this storey when you ask yourself " do we live in a modern society ?" I can guarentee you you will have the answer crystal clear in your very own mind !
