The new laws came out recently for children employed in India, you cannot employ anyone under the age of 14 anymore, and they have to be in schools.

The law in itself though very clear makes a mockery of the government who passed the law.

1.Where are the schools for the millions of children now on the streets?
2.For the homeless and orphans, what facilities are there?
3.Most of the children working were providing additional income to their poor parents
4.Should the governments in the third world countries listen to the cries of the first world countries?
5.In the first world countries you see the young boys vandalizing properties, stealing and causing human misery for ordinary citizens.
6.Children in India are occupied making a living and have no time to go around doing what their counterparts do in the first world countries.
7.Supposing the government is able to find schools and teachers for these children, what about their other day to day expenses and what about their families who depended on their income?
8.Again supposing all the children went to school and qualified, where will the government find employment for them, with millions being born and after the limited job market and only those with very high qualification can be absorbed into that.
9.Having studied, to what ever level, will these children accept any jobs, or fight for jobs more suited to their education.

Having looked at all the above points, will the children having got their diplomas and degrees become like people in UK and USA etc, living on the government handouts. At least in those countries you have unemployment benefit schemes, does or can India afford that. So what will happen to these “men” Now, that’s any bodies guess.

India really needs to get it's act together. There are so many corrupt officials. Politicians are not that wise in law-making anyways. They need to completely renovate the infrastructure. Bombay's sewers are so bad. One day in Bombay two years ago, I woke up with mosquito bites all over one of my arms because it wasn't under the blanket. I was lucky not to get malaria. Recently, there was also a huge flood in a city in Gujarat because the infrastructure could not drain the city.

There are so many homeless, unemployed, and uneducated in India. You're right, they need more schools. The leaders need to pull together, stop being corrupt, and put India on it's path to becoming a superpower, or at least a major world player.
