polic and bagGruesome cases of serial rape and child murder has finally shifted the spotlight on tens of thousands of children that go missing in India. According to NPR, over 45,000 go missing each year and the efforts to search and recover are purely the privilege of the rich. The countries police (who I personally think are a bunch of corrupt dimwits) have not just failed the poor, but the nation as a whole.

Sanjeev Srivastava, India editor of the BBC’s Hindi service writes, “Where else in the world could children be disappearing like they were in Nithari for more than a year without the police registering a case and investigating, even when the parents had alerted the police about their missing offspring?

Where else in the world would the courts have had to intervene just to ensure that the police did start investigations?

Where else in the world could the post-Nithari headlines have been hijacked by visits of senior politicians and different political parties trying to score debating points?�

Where else?

The world seems to be worse today then when I was 10, is it just me or are we (humans) losing it!
