Chotu is symbolic, there are so many Choutus working at eateries, resorts, laundries and hazardous industries. Chotu comes cheap, asks for less salary can be bullied doesn't know his/her rights. Chotu has enormous energy but bleak future. I come out of a store buying expensive items for my daughter and see a Chotu selling roasted corn. I'm upset. What can be done?
* Effective and sincere rehabilitation.
* Real Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan not like earlier one which made corrupt officials rich but no change in state of education.
* Training the rehabilitated Child labour's family to generate employment for them.
* Spreading awareness against using Child labour.

I want the world free from Chotu
Prof. Sabharwal - II
Illegal Immigrants - II
I got quite good response about my post on illegal immigrants. And I feel I should reply those in public forum.
Comment: Illegal immigrants are criminal and they involve in illegal activities.
Response: There are legal citizens too who involve in illegal activities so you can not generalize.
Comment: They change demography of the region.
Response: Changing demography is not their intention it is driven by politicians. Sometimes even legal citizens can change demography don't want to point out communities but there are evident examples in many cities like Kolkata.

Prof. Sabharwal
Professor Sabharwal killed in college student violence. In which society we are living, where people killed a teacher. I've never seen god on this earth but have seen my teachers and parents. How can somebody kill a teacher? Student elections are good but if they are limited till students. I know such student bodies where President’s age is 45 years. Keep student bodies and mainstream politics separate.
Kabir would have never thought that a teacher will be killed in
Saat samundar masi kare, lekhani sab banraay
dharati sab kaagad kare, guru gun likha na jaay.
Sevens seas turned to ink, into pen all forest,
all earth a sheet of paper,glory of guru can't be written yet.
