INDIA IS a country where we find that girl child is still considered as a major problem in our society. It is a matter of international and national drawback for us that India with a massive growth in each and every field has been killing their girl child as they think that girl child is a liability for them. Our nation still follows a culture where people idolises son and mourns daughter.

At least one in three girls and women worldwide has been beaten or sexually abused in her lifetime especially in India. Abortion rates are increasing in Indian states

Absurdity of Jharkhand and pain of being a Jharkhandi

0 comments

MM JOSHI called it a ‘theatre of the absurd’ after attempts failed to rein-in Shibu Shoren- the flip-flop Chief Minister of Jharkhand. An array of seven chief ministers and two president’s rule in a history of 10 years is the fate of a state which is called Jharkhand. The drama which it has witnessed in the past ten years of its inception there is no apt expression then that of Joshi.

EVEN AFTER  hectic planning, numerous welfare programmes, a series of legislative and administrative actions in the past five and a half decades, a huge chunk of Indian children continue to remain in distress and severe chaos. The ‘Indian childhood’ can be said to be one of the worst. This neglected chunk of ‘innocence’ is an epitome of malnourishment, illiteracy, trafficking, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The problem of child abuse and indifference is an increasing phenomenon but the sorry state of affairs is that even now the public and the government are not taking it seriously.

 

About 59 million out of 200 million children (6-14 years) in India are still out of school. 40% of the
