What stops the 'state' ?

India might be shining, the BSE index might be sky rocketing, the GDP might reach an all time high ....

What does it mean to a kid who works in the tea shop, maybe within a km from the parliament ?

India has the world's largest human trafficking and bonded labor problems. What stops the 'state' that shines from reaching out to its children ? Can we just blame the 'state' for all ills ? - it is after all us, the people who brought them to power!

Why does the 'Minister of State for Women and Child Development' doesn't like being watched over the shoulder ?

Why is the Delhi government slow in listening to the High Court ?

Does anyone have any views on registration of pregnancy and birth?

Is this really going to translate to mitigating issues on child labor?

Or will it curtail/hinder women's rights while not doing much for childrens' right?
