Voice of a street child

Voice of a street child Every day, my life throws a new challenge to me, a challenge of survival, a challenge to fill my stomach again, a challenge to fulfill my job no matter how harsh circumstances are. My life is not like the life of other children, whose infancy starts with love and care, my life is a little bit different. It is the life which any parent will never want for his child and any child will never dream of, even in his worst nightmare.  At the age of 5 when other children go to school of learning I am taken to the school of “beggary”, an unusual world which showed me no matter which school you go, life is all about survival. At the age of 10, when many children like me, play with video games, I struggle to make my earning for the day. I never dream of having mobile phones as my birthday present, Instead, I just wanted to have a piece of cloth to protect myself from this shivering cold. However, in this war of survival I often tasted the bitterness of fail...

End of Racism ?? Not Now ......

Am I a part of this so called “unified” country India?Do my countrymen whom I  refer as “brothers and sisters” even recognize me ? This is what every single person who have different features in terms of their appearance must be thinking, whenever they suffer any discrimination. Today, people of North-east are facing discrimination which made them vulnerable to many crimes like assault, murders, rape etc. They are often insulted by slurs like Chinki, Nepalese, Chinese etc. In the recent study conducted by Jamia Millia Islamia's Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research with National Commission for Women (NCW) found that 60% of women from North East India, who have moved to major cities in India, are reported to face harassment and discrimination. Delhi is a place where one can easily see the amalgamation of culture and is considered as one of the place which has the largest number of educated civilized citizens. Still, city wise- New Delhi is reported to be most intoler...

In October this place welcomes the arrival of migrants from Pale arctic region when over 90% of the water bird popul...

Juvenile Justice Act needs amendment

Mohit , a 17 year old teenager , murdered three members of his family but rather than punishing him under criminal laws, he was sent to prison in rehabilitation centre . However, on the other hand , if the same crime was committed by a person of 18 + he must have registered under some section of IPC . As a result of which he will be awarded with capital punishment .   Any juvenile can commit heinous crimes like rape , murder can get away with it , this is what , such kinds of verdicts reflects . Even the verdict of Delhi gang rape conveyed the same message especially to all those potential juvenile rapists . The legislative body of India should understand the fact now that today, the mental maturity of a 16+ child is far more than it was decade ago . Hence, there is a need to lower the age of juvenile from 18 to 16 . At the age of 16 , one can easily judge between right and wrong . Infact, there are many countries like Scotland, which treat a 16 year old person as an adu...

NO TITLE

Today when I was listening news regarding the election 2014 , It made me realise that in terms of good representative we are out of options now . Everyone is aware of the fact , that 2014 election is all about the so called “secular NAMO” and 42 years old yet “young”    Rahul Gandhi but    for a democratic country even both of them don’t fulfill the criteria of a good representative very well . Today the Indian political system has ruined to such an    extent that we are lacking of good representative    . Why there is    choice between only Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi ??? Why we are still in a search of that “ideal representative” who will actually fulfill all the criteria required for a good representative … reasons are many but solution is only one i.e. the participation of a youth . There is hardly a fraction of students/ youth who actually wants to be a part of healthy politics and this is one of    the loophole ...
