In a nation where the equivalent of 600,000 girls go missing every year- killed in the womb, abandoned at birth, allowed to perish due to neglect. In a nation where girls do not get the same advantages as boys, where they have no say in their future, where they are coerced to follow the destiny dictated by the community. In a nation where women are assaulted for daring speak their mind, where the shame of a rape is on the victim.
In such a nation, isn’t it a sham when the Mother Goddess is worshipped with such pomp and splendour?

You're right - that makes no sense!
It makes me want to weep.
It is indeed a completely scandalous sham. Why don't people drop the pretense completely, I wonder.
Yes it is!!!!!!! Your recounting of how girls are treated makes my stomach sick and my heart break.
Oh for it to change and soon!!
