Recently my facebook page has a photo of a missing child every second day, the sweet innocent
face haunts me for a very long time. I shudder just thinking of the hell that child will be put through. Prostitution, organ harvest, mutilation, child labor the list of hell is endless.
What is going wrong ? Is this generation of parents reckless or is the current law and order toothless and more lazy than the last. According to the baccha bachao andolan nearly ELEVEN CHILDREN GO MISSING EVERY HOUR in India. These statistics are as old as 2011 so this is not a new story the only difference is the common man has a facebook account.
The mind has the ability to ignore what it wants hence even when train stations and bus depots are lined with posters of missing children we ignore it.
This is our reality we live in the shadow of fear, of waking up and finding our child gone, will you ever be able to breath again..... The political machinery of our country is busy planning and executing a dream world of riches which will come from strengthening the multinational corporate universe and a strong take on subsidies. On the other hand the country is sitting on a boiling pot of religious sentiment. A blind eye to the crumbling secular fabric of the country seems to be the moto.
The police in this country and under payed and overworked not news and the current situation does not help.
The question is very simple is all this foreign investment in India going to make our country safe for you and for me. Children have been going missing in villages for along time nobody has bothered to ask questions because it does not affect us. Today the epidemic has reached our doorstep.
We can never live a isolated life, the waters will always reach your shore.
The grief of the farmer is not yours, but when there is no land to plough, where are these villages going to go ? What are we going to eat ???? a very expensive commodity imported ?
If we cant afford it will these people ? what are they going to do ? with no skill there is always the easy way out.... Crime.... How many police officers do we have ? not enough.....
Our priorities cannot be just about what we want... lower interest rate so that we can buy a bigger home ? foreign investment for a better job ? all this will amount to nothing if one day you wake up and a piece of you is missing.
