While India marches to glory in the comet of nations the state of affairs for some unwanted kids is far from wanted!!
Yeah the ones you see on the traffic lights,impoverished,fragile,handicapped...but still begging??
I could never forget the plight of a 2yesr old kid who was in the lap of another kid who was 6 or 7yrs old. While waiting for an auto i realised that the kid was biting the toddler time and again so that he kept on crying??
Also observed outside the business district of Mindspace, Malad, Mumbai a group of kids barely covered in tattered clothes begging from rich call center employees,just few steps back a dangerous looking drugged thug keeping eye on collection and prodding them to beg more!!
All this happens in open in front of the civilized society and police!!
Have we ever thought how the supply of these tiny kids is maintained and how they turn out to be amputated always??This is a questions whose answer was given long back in Slumdog Millionaire! Yes there are organised child trafficking rackets which bring innocent kids from rural India either by stealing them or abducting them..in some sad circumstances even the parents sell of kids due to poverty??
The plight of these kids is deplorable to say the least...and their existence is a big blot on the society which prides itself being the largest democracy??
