Uttarakhand: Salute to such parents… Party given on daughter’s first period, getting love from all over the country

Kashipur: Menstruation…menstruation…or periods. Whenever these difficult days come to daughters and women. Instead of supporting them in their pain, they are considered untouchables. This is almost common across the country. However, with time things have also started changing. Many films have also been made on this. In spite of this, till now the veil of intelligence has not been removed completely. But, what Jitendra Bhatt and Bhavna of Koshipur did. It might have opened their eyes wherever beliefs are imposed on periods across the country.

Jitendra Bhatt and Bhavna, a parent from Kashipur, who have a 13-year-old daughter, Ragini. He did something on the daughter’s first period that not only made headlines across the country, it has also become a topic of great discussion. Jitendra and Bhavna have done the work of showing a mirror to the society by breaking the stereotypes related to menstruation.

On the first period of the daughter, the parents called the neighbors and acquaintances to their house and threw a party. The cake of the daughter’s first period was cut. As Jitendra put this post on social media, it went viral and made headlines. While some people are openly appreciating Jitendra’s thinking, some still have objection to such a change. On Tuesday this week, Jitendra Bhatt’s wife Bhavna told him that their 13-year-old daughter Ragini has started periods.

The daughter was a bit uncomfortable, but both the parents made the daughter sit together and told her how periods are special for her. This is not a matter of shame or hesitation. This is a force. The power of creation which is only a matter of celebration and joy.

On this occasion the parents called all the people of the neighborhood and their relatives. Then the cake was cut, the cake of Ragini’s first periods… The guests also brought different gifts for Ragini when her first period started. Photographs were taken out. Many videos were made of that festival.

The shopkeeper who took the cake order also says that it is really something new and I also congratulate the whole family. When the order was given to me for the first time, I was also a little worried and again asked what message to give, but the next voice was that of her father and he told that he is taking such initiative for his daughter.

I also consider myself proud that I am a part of this initiative. Such a change is good for the coming generation. This unique festival of its kind will definitely force people to think towards a new idea.

There has been a lot of change in people’s thinking about periods. A lot is happening at the level of governance and administration as well. There is increasing awareness about cleanliness, good nutritious food during periods, but still these schemes are like cumin in camel’s mouth. This will be possible only when we as individuals start thinking like Jitendra Bhatt and Bhawna. When we will talk openly about the period.
