In the story 'Girls' by Mrinal Pandey, how does the narrator fight for her rights as a girl child in the family?

Pande's work represents the idea that what it means to be
a woman in many parts of India, and the world, has to come under extreme analysis.  The
fact that the book opens with the statement of how social conditions are organized by
gender with women being "a problem."  In asserting such a condition to start, the reader
understands fairly quickly how this is going to be challenged throughout the story.  The
idea of the narrator not readily accepting how girls are seen in the specific social
order helps to bring out that there is an eventual or demanding of rights.  The mere
depiction of such a social order is done so to bring attention to the challenges of
being a woman in India, and can be broadened to throughout the world.  In choosing this
as a setting with a protagonist who does not fall into it, Pande has been able to
demonstrate how fighting for one's rights and asserting one's own sense of self in such
a condition is the only way to approach this reality.
