A Budding Pain

It is this understanding that’s at the heart of Children in Globalising India. With a sensitive and admirable situational analysis, the volume is a competent and first-of-its-kind citizen’s report on the state of the nation’s children. Perspective pieces by experts, lists of laws, national commitments and statistics galore address various aspects of the living conditions of children today. It raises pertinent questions like what is the level of India’s commitment towards her children? How many died during the Gujarat earthquake in 2000? The underlying argument convinces—kids aren’t just our future, they’re also our present. We ignore them at our own cost.
