Name Changers in India whose name was "unwanted"

If you do not know Hindi and you heard a name called "Nakusa" or "Nakushi", you might thought that it was a nice name just like I would have thought! However, it actually meant "unwanted" in Hindi!

Unbelievable is the first thought that I immediately thought after I had finished reading about this article. Why? It is because I COULD NOT BELIEVE that their parents would call them unwanted just because they hoped that their next child would not be a girl. If I were to born in India and was treated like that, I might felt insulted ,ashamed and depressed everyday. It is because the feeling of being called "unwanted" everyday by everybody would be unbearable.

I felt that I am really lucky to be born in Singapore where there are rarely gender discrimination and every gender are treated equally. I am also glad that all these "unwanted" girls are able to change their names into their desired names and be able to not feel ashamed or insulted anymore.

In conclusion, I really hope that one day there will be no gender discrimination anymore.
