Dalit minor boys paraded naked...

The Kanjar people group ( http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-dalit.htm) have no home of their own. They live in the tents and plastic sheets. They wander in search of food to the jungles and wherever they can. By hunting small birds, rabits, cats, mouse they make their foods.

The children suffer the most from this people group. Because in many cases the father drinks and sleeps in the tent and the children bring the food from outside by begging or hunting birds etc.

The mainlanders, have never asked them, what's wrong with them. Or how can they improve their life styles but they think they are more holier than the Kanjars. There has been no clear scheme or plans politically or religiously for them.

Here is a sad story, which took place on May 12th/2008.

JAIPUR: In yet another instance of mob justice, two Dalit minors were paraded naked for allegedly killing birds at Byawar village in Rajasthan’s Ajmer district. While the reprehensible incident took place three days ago, police learned about it only on Sunday and arrested two of the several accused under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The minors, identified as Vinod (12) and Sagar (10), belong to the Kanjar tribe. The two were caught by villagers while they were catching birds and, on rummaging through through their bags, were found with a few pigeons and partridges. Furious villagers then beat up the boys and stripped them naked in public, police said. The villagers then called a barber and got their heads tonsured before parading them naked in the village.*

The question should be asked to those people; what is more important between the birds and those hungry children?

Before punishing these minors (ten years and twelve years) how much did they contribute to their lives? Did they provide any food or cloth help to them?

When these children grow up what kind of attitude will they devolep toward their fellow beings?

Aren't they punished for their karmas? Because they were not born in high castes or in a "civilized Hindu society".

We people proudly sing, "Bachhe man ke sachhe sare jag ki aankhe ke tare
Ye wo nane phool hai, jo bhagwan ko lagte payare..."
(Children are of true nature, whole world like them, god like these little flowers).

Where is the true Indian spirit for the little children?

Lord Jesus Christ said, "Let the little children come to me, do not hinder them". He loves children. And not only during His earthly ministry but He said to His disciples, serve them, care for them, bless them, feed them, clothe them, educate them. This what He meant when he touched those little ones, took them in His arms and blessed them. Jesus had to correct His disciples to care for them.

Today there are thousand of children from poor, dalits, leper, blind, rag picker and orphan background helped by the Christian brothers and sister in India and all over the world. The main goal is to see them happy and make them future better citizens and to serve God, who created them.

Will you my friends learn a lesson to take up the issue of these precious children? Will you care for them? Will you do something for them?
