cheap labour or survival or slavery or well paid gutter work? story of
present India? Where do you want to set up new sweat-shop with half-
baked workers wearing suits or formal wear, who spend time in watching
gutter bollywood and cricket and have NEVER taken efforts to
understand and build their own country? Just last year, India had 50
billionaires who controlled wealth of 20% GDP (scary?) and 80% stock
market capitalisation (more scary?). Working for mncs/tatas/birlas/
ambanis/such families (corporate oligarchy) still makes you slave.
Compete with them on your terms, not slave terms.

Too many temples, very few libraries/laboratories

Are there more religious places than FREE excellent research libraries/
laboratories in Ahmednagar? Are there more bua/baba/guru/maharaj than
real scientists (not just PhDs) in Ahmednagar? The answer is YES. Any
nagari tried to understand why is it like that for generations? Why
there are more nagaris attending bhakti pravachan rather than going to
science labs/libraries? How many people will attend science lecture
rather than going to pravachan of Maharaj who comes in AC car, drinks
bottled mineral water and charges lot of money for pravachan? At least
make one REAL scientist per one guru and one free science RESEARCH lib/
lab per religious place in Ahmednagar. Remove those projectors in
restaurants/pravachan sites and donate them to teach kids in slums.

Child Labour?

Child labour? How many kids you see working in Ahmednagar? Any kid
surving you tea/lassi/flowers, selling you soccer ball, stiching
buttons for new shirts in tailor shop, wandering in slums with no
future, cleaning your gutters...?

Where are Indian women?

Classic face of Indian society in villages where women are left
behind... Did we create a society where Indian women can't dance or
always pushed and shoved around if they wish to dance in such public
spaces/events? Indian cities are not much different.

Is this a Child Marriage in 2009?

UNICEF defines child marriage as marriage before 18 years of age and
such a practice has been increasingly viewed as a violation of human
rights. India introduced laws against child marriage in 1929 and set
the legal age for marriage at 12 years. The legal age for marriage was
increased to 18 years for women and 21 years for men in 1978.
