The plight of dalit children in iNdia


The news coverage regarding the plight of the Dalits of Bhavkhedi village  and the most undignified treatment of their children by their  schools resulting in their dropping out from schools and migrating attempts  to save their lives and dignity leaves pain in the heart . What is the use of tall claims about emerging economy status, technological advancements in multiple fields, growth story ,space research achievements , highest external security arrangements , when the marginalized sections are still denied basic rights like safe living, education and dignified treatment by fellow citizens? India presents two pictures . Everything is rosy for the rich and powerful and it is every day struggle for the poor even after few decades of Independence . What type of scars  these incidents will leave on the minds and hearts of the children about whom it is reported ?
