What is the Theme of story girls by mrinal pande?

it mainly deals with the different and unjust treatment rendered to girls in a middle class Indian family. it deals with gender discrimination. the protagonist is the 9 year old girl and she has been given so much unimportance that even her name isn't mentioned in the story. she is always very insecure and nervous but also has a rebellious streak in her due to which she gets her point across to the others!the desensitized mother is very unsympathetic and thinks that girls do not have their own identity and come after boys despite her also being a female!
