Dear
Daughters of India
It’s time for you to shine. Do not hesitate to try anything thinking you cannot do because you are a girl. Condemn the wrong notions and fight for your rights. Be independent in every aspect of life. Go out alone, walk alone proudly and wear the crown on your head all the time. Respect yourself, love yourself and the world will be bound to return you with the same. Think about how you can make your life better and work towards it. Earn money and buy your own house before getting married. Do not go by the society’s standard of beauty. You are the most beautiful creation of God. Share your responsibilities with your husband including taking care of your future children and doing the household chores. Choose your life partner wisely and do not allow anyone to rule you. You are the master of your own life. Yours lovingly Proud Mother of a daughter

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
