Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Wanted – a thousand Anna Hazares !


Not for fasting unto death but to live long and to fight unto death.

For fighting to liberate 50 / 100 million children working as bonded labor / slave workers in India’s factories and homes.

Home to the largest child labor workforce in the world, India has enough laws to prevent and regulate child labor.

What India needs are a thousand, self-appointed, Bal-Pals ( Child-Protectors ).

2011 census revealed that India has 159 million children in 0-6 year age group.

We must ensure that some of them don’t end up working for 12 hours / day , 7 days a week, for a few pieces of bread and a factory-floor to sleep on !

How many Moins must die before things will change ?

With regards
