A Night that dreamt, 'Beti'... - Fashion Show

A Night that dreamt, ‘beti’…

Long ignored the Silent Scream…
Long you killed the Nature’s Dream…
Hail now the birth of ‘beti’…
Hail the night that dreamt ‘beti’…!


It was a night that held you in a trance, a night that tugged at your heartstrings, a night that compelled you to think – it was the night of, ‘beti’!

A mission of Anu Ranjan’s (President, The ITA and Editor, GR8!), ‘beti’ is a movement against Female Foeticide, which is rampant all across the country, today. So much so, that it is playing havoc with the gender balance as created by Mother Nature.

Besides that, ‘beti’ also touches a longer spectrum of travails undergone by girls in particular and children at large – for instance, the scourge of child mutilation, of whose examples we see day-in and day-out at our road crossings in the form of those urchins and beggars and on whose sight we just turn and look away.

To create awareness about all of these curses, this evening was organized in the form of a celebrity Ramp-walk, all of whom professed their unqualified support to the movement and were vociferously vocal against Female Foeticide and other such banes besetting the children in our society.

And there were celebrities galore at the occasion – all those A-listers from Films, Television and Corporate sectors walked the ramp and were cheered lustily by their peers in the audience.
