Abstract

“The crudest form of gender discrimination begins with this strange naming practice. To beget a boy, parents name their girl children, Nakusa or Nakoshi. The agony and discrimination faced by these hapless girls during their growing up years is unimaginable,” says Mr. Shijith, whose film is the result of three years of research and meetings with 77 families in the villages.
