Subject: Mere paas "MAA" hai !

I am sure everyone of us is familiar with this dialague since it is one of the most famous scenes of any Indian movie. It was shown in this scene that inspite of not having all the luxries that his brother have, he consider himself much more richer since he has his mother with him. Therefore it can be correctly inferred that Mother figure is considered most precious in Indian society, since what is shown in movies is nothing but the reflection of its society. And why just in Indian society only, being Mother is the most pious thing on earth.
    There is a proverb that you must heard of. It says, when a woman gives birth to a child, at the same time that child gives birth to a Mother. It simply means with the birth of a child, a woman becomes a Mother. So it is one of the thing which makes a woman a mother. But why is it so ? Why women needs to be a Mother ? Why is it that a woman is considered incomplete till she gave birth to a child ? Yes I want you to think upon this questions and try to answer them.
      Surrogacy, a process in which a woman conceives a child on behalf of other women who is not medically fit to give birth to a child. Ofcourse it is a boon for those couples who cant have child. And also provide some financial asistance to poor women who took to concieve child for other. Therefore it is not surprising that India is emerging as a huge market for NRIs and RNIs because of easy availability of women who can complete pregnancy term.
       I am a layman and I'l look into things at that level only. Its a major concern that we dont have any firm law to regulate this process and therefore give rise to many lacaunae regarding women's health and child's security. But my concern is different. Ofcourse when one refers surrogacy during Mahabharat times, it itself gives a validity to the process and there is no doubt about it. Once I come to know that a women bears more than four times the pain that a human body can during pregnancy. Is not is shocking. But what is more important here is a woman have that capability to go through such pain. We men cant even think of it. But today for just not to go through such pain many women opting for surrogacy. Other reason is they dont want to gain wait or disfigure themselves. This women are those who belongs to rich families. Is being a mother is just another luxury which can be afforded by some rich people only ? Ofcourse not. How can one neglect such a pious gift of nature just on the name of modernisation.
      When I was reding one NCERT book of high school, it was written there that there is a major miscalculation in National Income since the work of women in household is not considered. It implies that since a man earns money he must be the only one to spare that money. But does it happens in our families ? No. During reading this I was thinking that the time is not far when Women will start demanding rent from their child for nuturing them for nine months in their womb. What would be the cost of mother's milk ? Even animals use to nurture their young ones. Are we Humans not becoming worse than animals ? Are we not losing our humanity ?
      When a woman concieves a child inside her womb for nine months, a bonding develops between the two. Is'nt it wonderful that a child who just came in the world knows the touch of her mother. This feeling makes a woman a Mother. And it comes with some pain obviously.
     I am afraid that the future is not so far when people will buy robots from nearby markets instead of having a child. Or will grow them in laboratories. Then no child will take birth in this world. Humans will not reproduce humans anymore. Would it not be decline of Humanity from the earth ?
