Abstract (Original Language): 
Every Indian says that times have changed now as there is no difference between a son and a daughter. It is increasingly argued that a daughter is the biggest asset to her parents in contemporary times as it is she and not their son who keeps caring, loving and maintaining them till their sunset days. Also a girl is making her parents proud by excelling in the fields of sports, education, science and technology, and literature, and so on. Even the government of India and several political parties are not behind in eulogizing daughters. It sounds optimistic and it seems we are close to kicking off the age old male chauvinism. It all indicates that a gender sensitive social structure is coming up.
