Laudable explanation. However, what child abuse legislation was on the books in 1947?Scalie, it took Britain centuries, from the start, some point during the late Enlightenment era, early Industrialization, of the realization that children should not be exploited, to come through with such a legislation to protect them.
Indians, on the other hand, are still not as socially developed yet to fully understand such concepts as Pedophilia.
We do have certain states, such as Goa, which have enacted laws against Pedophilia, however this has still not been done by the rest of the states, and the reason is a lack of understanding due to a lack of social development.
Mind you, when you started to send your children up chimneys, or even after you stopped doing so; we were under an occupation and being deprived of the same Industrial development which Britain was carrying out so vigorously in its own nation, using resources exploited from India, aswell as the "New World".
In due time, as awareness spreads, you will slowly start to see the same legislations being passed in India as India socially 'catches up' with the West.
Shows such as SMJ, which you are quoting from, are but a fine example of Indians socially waking up to recognize their own problems and spreading awareness in understanding these problems across the social sphere. Once this social realization takes place, the next natural step is political activism. This is how a country is built.
Cheers!
Frankly I'm astounded at the stats provided. Every other one of you was abused as a child? That may explain some the of 'angry man' attitudes on here.
