Aside, child labour is no doubt mostly unsafe as well as unjust w/ respect to children. But many poor families in India claim to send their children to work in such areas cos they hav very little or no other source of income.....esp. if the father is a drunk/vagabond etc....sum foreign cos. tat traded w/ Indian exporting firms once declared tat they don't want to buy ne products from cos. tat employed child labour in their factories.
Many yrs ago I rem. seeing a pic. in our hyd. paper of one boy who was working in sum factory involving dangerous machinery.....the pic. showed tat his hand was cut by a machine and the wound had become septic, and the doctor had said tat his hand would need to be amputated! :( I really felt pity for tat kid!
Was these kids muslim? I wouldnt doubt it.. Digusting..
In bad taste!That too when many serious hubbers were discussing something worthy!Quote:

blahblah,
Look at his ID - that says everythinng. :wink: 'They' are the only people who are capable of talking bad ,foolish and hated stuff :lol2: You cannot expect good from them. They can never set an example any where. 8) :lol:
It is nice to see the discussions in my short absence. First and foremost my nature is to feel upset, absolutely shocked when something I strongly believe to be sane, good & must-be-saved, some precious values take a beating from the media. The blatant digressions from accepted norms & traditions when there is no necessity whatsoever to do so other than to create sensationalism make me MAD & SAD. A sort of utter helplessness overwhelms me. I desperately seek to clutch at a straw like a drowning person for some like-minded person’s understanding.
Having lived for too many years I have the misfortune to see vast not-so-good changes in lifestyle & society & educational system within my lifetime. Many people here have jeered at me for not being able to digest modernisms.
However fast the pace of life should we not take time & energy to watch how our wards are growing? An avalanche of influences come crashing down on the impressionable minds. The elders themselves are becoming more & more money-thirsty, power-thirsty. The sacrifices are no more there. The strict disciplined respectful familial relationship is gone.
What the schools don’t teach- moral science, the parents must teach like the “bad touch”, dignity of body parts etc. The wretched media is creating an impression of modes of behaviour, dress, and language which definitely are not yet normal. This crime of projecting so many practices as being “normal”, “the in-thing” is what I consider criminal, unforgivable.
By saying we should create awareness I don’t mean just idly airing grievances wherever possible. Not everybody could practically join groups who throw rotten eggs on vulgar cinemas or join rallies to protest sexual atrocities. But a powerful call to awake & be alert is absolutely necessary.
We are in general sinking into a lethargic mood, an insensitive mindset of being unable to be SHOCKED by so many REVOLUTIONS(so-called) & this state of affairs must change by the concerted efforts of sincerely concerned people.
As has been already pointed out with beautiful instances, “Charity begins at home”. Everyone can do their own mite in their own area of influence. Little drops make mighty ocean. We can set good example. By our deeds we can inspire others.
Clarity of thought and boldness of action are the need of the hour. Let us like good followers of Vivekananda wake to quick, constructive activities and retain our glory of possessing great cultural values.
Please avoid criticizing by pointing out exceptions that are taking place. See the grand general picture of day-to-day life of people & just see the serpent under the grass- false standards creeping in seditiously.
