Today is the best time to be a woman, and this realisation doesn't stem from the power of social media, but the power of womanhood itself. The rampant discrimination and belittling may continue to exist, but there have been strong attempts to diminish and ultimately end those discriminations. 

And this is why Bollywood actor Sameera Reddy's recent Instagram post is a must-read. It's a crucial message in today's times that has the power to resonate with everyone, including the men. She wrote that she fails to understand how a girl child was considered to be a burden, to have a little girl is such a joy. She also wrote with a daughter they have achieved a lot more than a boy could have.
