Why is child labor so prevalent in India?
The child labor economy is benefiting the pockets of those with greed, and small businesses that employ child labor. For example, India is the highest producer of tea, sugar and milk in the world. 40 percent of farm workers in India are children. The child labor economy is supporting the defense economy. This is a contradiction. Talking about child labor is actually talking about war and peace. Article 9 (the pacifist clause of the Japanese Constitution) in Japan is far more critical in India than Japan. We will do an event that will help to set our country afire with freedom and peace. So, in August 2008 to commemorate the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombings we will hold a huge event connecting Bangalore to Hiroshima. We want to show that the people who died 60 years ago in Hiroshima are not numbers but people with flesh and blood and sensibilities but we have forgotten this; yet we must not allow a third atomic bomb to fall. And in Bangalore we have about 130 Japanese companies working there
