Ah Ah. Sweatshop is one of biggest problem in US and several other countries too. Infact, in US I have seen huge number of protests by students agains sweatshops. Half the sweatshops in the world are sponsored by the "big powers". Dude, get your basics right before arguing.
National labour force
- 388 million work in farms and rural services (of which three-fourths are redundant)
- 64 million work in factories (under slave conditions)
- 88 million work in urban services
The above includes child labour of atleast 54 million across all sectors.
Dont you think "anniyan" is being taken a bit too seriously?It was an enjoyable movie which just had a character who got so frustrated by the people who refused to follow basic humanitarian laws.
India is a great country and I am proud to be an Indian but like all countries it has also got certain issues which Mr.Shankar has tried to potray in his own way. No point in closing our eyes and pretending that problems dont exist,they are not going to magically dissappear.The wise thing to do would be to do our bit to solve some of these issues.As for the comparision with Malayasia and Singapore..well as Nov said as long as we havent lived in those countries we will have no idea what problems the people there face.
Instead of praising or putting down other nations why dont we concentrate on India.
thank god, ur allright
i was goin to do shopping in london after sch with m frendz. bt now i cant. :(

It's an open secret that millions more are poorer in India than in Sub-Saharan Africa but could not attract aid or attention on global scale as the latter.
Ganesh79,
Do you know what sweatshops are? I dont think you do.
In the United States the federal government establishes a minimum wage and every worker here is paid the minimum wage. The minimum wage is adjusted to the Consumer Price Index(CPI) on a periodic basis.
The protests here in the US are done by students and activists who protest against the sweatshops in countries like India, Vietnam, South-east Asia, Indonesia, Colombia and other latin-american countries which are established by corporate giants in the US(Coke, Nike etc.) I myself was involved in one of the protests.
I dont think your level of understanding of global policy dynamics, international trade and finance is too good because the way you are talking is extremely pedestrian. First please refine the language you use. You are stating ideas in a manner in which two guys in some tea shop will talk. In that case nobody needs to prove anything, nobody needs to back their statements, anyone can say anything.
If this level of ignorance goes on from you it makes me so tired to reply to some very ill-informed postings from you.
Crab,
May I know the source of your figures? It indeed is interesting and not very surprising. Anyone who has studied 6+ years of economics would know this is normal for India.
Here is something else I found:

Ignorance is a bliss. Half knowledge (like what you have) is dangerous.
