Daughters are less than sons … On this hollow thinking in our society for centuries, four daughters of Jhansi have lost such a slap, whose echo is heard far and wide. Dare to do what he did and unknown love for his father.
This is the story of Gopal Das ji of Jhansi, who died after a long illness. When preparations were made for their last journey, everyone’s eyes were looking for a question – who will give a shoulder to the bier? Who will give the fire?
His son was not there. In such a situation, when the society was probably wondering what would happen now, then the four daughters of Gopal Das ji – Nancy, Preeti, Richa and Kanchan – came forward.
Drinking tears, played every ritual of son
These four daughters broke all the stereotypes and traditions that say that this work is only of one son.
- They should stop their father’s bier and took him to the crematorium.
- At the crematorium too, like sons, he completed all customs.
- And in the end, his eldest daughter with trembling hands, but with steely intentions, lit his father’s pyre.
At that time, every person present there was moist. These tears were not just the sorrow of the departure of a father, but also by looking at the courage and love of the daughters, who really set the biggest and most poignant example of being ‘son-daughter uniform’.
It was not just a funeral. This was a message, for all those who still assess daughters less than sons. These daughters of Jhansi have proved that the real legacy of a father is not his son, but his child who should support him at the last minute, whether it is a daughter or a son.
Today, the courage of these four daughters is being discussed throughout Jhansi. Everyone is saying this – I wish everyone should meet such daughters.
