PROTECT THE AGE OF INNOCENCE (COMMENTS)

(Hindustan Times dated August  30, 2012 – Page 12)

The new anti-child labour Act  is welcome, but a lot of work remains to be done = YES.

‘Aage Dowar, Peeche Trati Choor’ = Running Ahead (in resent) Behind Destroyed (past), Future Bleak – uncertain.

CHILD

Each child is new and Unique creation of God in all respects and is beloved to his/her parents, except in few cases where child yet to be born , in foetus is killed in womb and/or after birth killed or abandoned. Each child born comes with a message that God is not yet fed up with Humanity and each child in a welfare State is supposed to be an valuable asset of the State since he/she is capable to become the Prime Minister and/or a good leader, author, scientist or other big personality of which India may feel proud of. Plato said that ‘healthy mind resides in health body’ and swami Vevikanand  said give me a child of tender age and I cam make him/her a saint or Sinner as I may like. Modern science also says mind of a child gets developed upto the age of five years. Each child is born with full capacity to develop in multidimensional  manners provided he/she is allowed to use his/her inner faculties according to his/her inner wisdom which always comes from within and never from out side through scriptures and/or statutory Laws which come from the Mind only which muddle  things. Here I agree with the article ‘ourtake’  that lot of work remains to be done.

CHILD AS RAJA BETA

Each parent calls his/her child as Raja Beta or Rani Beti and in India  small child is called Bhwan ka Roop  No parent wants that his small under age child should go to work to earn bread for hungry stomach. Its because of Poverty. It was reported in this Hindustan Times some times ago that in some remote areas children are obliged to eat mud. What Right to education shall do when stomach is empty and mind has no Energy and body is not healthy to have healthy Mind. Here Plato fails in India. Perhaps Swami Vevikanand  now a days may be called Government Succeeds which being devoid to true wisdom enacts superfluous Laws to make people criminals. No criminal is born by birth but are made by  Police, Government, Society, Religion and education.

CHILD & ADOLESCENT LABOUR (Probibition ) Act, 1986

There is well known saying YOU CAN DRIVE THE HORSE TO THE POND BUT CAN’T FORCE IT TO DRINK. All children are not capable to study:

Ø      Some are born to become singers – we find on TV children between 5 to 14 years singing  to become child artists.

Ø      Some are born to Dance and small children are seen dancing on TV shows

Ø      Children learn the Art from childhood either from their Parents and/or some one close to them as per their aptitude but never under obligation or force of statutory law.

Ø      If all children are asked to go to school who will earn  food for the family which is hungry, poor, ill. Whether the Govt has made arrangements to provide the amount to the family which the child used to or would earn for the welfare of the family?

Its right ‘ the best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible’

‘Pre conceptions & Prejudices blind us to see good. Stale thoughts state Life. History reveals some big people used to study under street Lights. Where there is will, there is way.

Ø      I am an Advocate, self made man, an Author, Meditator  Yogi, Spiritualist, Motivator and started my life as class IV employee at a salary of 78 rupees and was under age 17+ but worked in an Army Unit as civilian and at the same time I was studying privately till I completed Law and joined the legal profession and still write on social, Legal, political matters and have appeared on different TV channels also.

Ø      Justice  S.H. Kapadia, CJI, also started life as class IV employee and is a self made man.

Ø      Late  Lal Bahadur Shastri haled from small family and became Prime Minister like our Hon’ble APJ Abdul Kalam , a pride of India became President of India.

Ø      There are enumerable personalities in India and abroad who paved their own path to progress.

Ø      My News Paper wala started supplying news papers when he was hardly 7-8 years of age and now he is grown up man.

Ø      SELF MADE LIFE IS A MATTER OF PRODE FOR SELF & FOR OTHERS TO EMULATE WHEN YOU KNOW & UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF THE MONEY EARNED.

MALPRACTICES  IN RIGHT TO EDUCATION SCHOOLS:

For Children blow 14 years parents are obliged to send chidren to schools where (1 ) there is no tuition fee (2) books are free, (3) food is free, (4) dress & shoes are free but instead of providing dress & shoes cash is given to parents. Parents who are illiterate are asked to sign for a particular amount but half of it is given to them. Children are promoted to the next call even through a child of 6^th standard cannot write the name of his/her parents even. THIS IS HO THE RIGHT TO EDUCATIOON IF BEING ABUSED. Things on paper and things in practice are quite different since corruption is rampant at all levels.

WHO WILL BELL THE CAT IN INDIA. According to Justice B.N. Agarwal, Retd Judge from Supreme Court EVEN GOD CANNOT SAVE THIS COUNTRY. And I say WONSOM OF LAW MAKERS HAS GONE FOR GRASS GRAZING AND INDIA IS PRODUCT OF VISHWAKARMA, the foreman of God without signatures of God
