Indian girls, shedding names like “Nakusa†or “Nakushi†which means;
“ unwanted " in Hindi,
hold up their name change certificates during a ceremony in Satara,
250 kms from Mumbai, on Saturday.

the saddest part of this story is that parents/relatives knowinly gave the girls those names

Krish...societies the world over discriminate against women. And the fact that these girls can regain their dignity via a renaming ceremony is wonderful. More to the progressive organizations in the new, progressive India. Thankfully.
