Eunuchs campaign to save girl child in Haryana

SIRSA: The tune is the same, but if "Sheela Ki Jawani" titillates you, "Betiyon Ki Kahani" will inspire you. Eunuchs in Haryana have a fresh take on the Bollywood hit which they sing to campaign against female foeticide in the state. The eunuchs here have changed the lyrics to sing praises of women as a signature item at the homes of newborns to encourage raising a girl child and educating her.

Sample the eunuchs' take: Betiyon ki kahani; Kumari Shailja is desh ki rani; jiski Sonia Gandhi bhi diwani; har jagat main roshan kiya jai naam; hai duniya ke logon né bhi pehchani; Saina né desh ko kya khoob chamkaya; vaise hi tumhe bhi apni betiyon ko hai banana ...
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
