I think there is reason for teaching children nursery rhymes. melody can easily be picked.

But as you say, the thread is about different issue.

How do you see depiction of females in Ramayan and MahaBharata? Is that a typical abla-nari (innocent and victimized woman) or something different? Did Bhakti movement (paraleel to sufi movement) brought some changes in that portrayal?

Nursery rhymes are more intended to make children learn the pronunciation.

Bhakti Movement was just re-emphasis in local dialect of the established religious doctrine, Hindu theology has both victim hero and vitimized heroine
The general development of women in India is due to Modern people like Tarabai Shinde, Kamladevi Chattopdhyay and most prominently, Mahatma Gandhi
