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.

i am sickened

Is " Unwanted ".. the same as the... " Untouchables " ?  [img alt=]http://www.westindiesforum.com/../../Smileys/default/huh.gif[/img]

De fellah at de back looks like SCA... ............

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

commendable efforts on activits who are trying to bring about changes.....especially in attitudes about female babies in india.

Mother India ! 

registras should refuse those names.

but yall know some of the names given in usa? some one had started a thread on it

The names of ' Unwanted "

to go with the " Untouchables ".

cannot even be matched by the Great satan  ::redcard::

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.
