01/24/2009: "In India, gangs are deliberately crippling children for profit"
For at the hospital, a doctor was paid to amputate one of his healthy legs. Now speaking in the third person, as if to pretend it didn't happen to him, Aamir tells me 'the child' was in 'great pain' after the operation.
'The leg is removed here,' he says, pointing to his own stump and grimacing. His limb had been severed mid-calf, leaving him without a foot.
Now in hiding after being rescued from the hospital by a charity, Aamir is one of hundreds of Indian children deliberately crippled by gangs so they can earn extra money begging. He still struggles to talk about his experience.
Asked to describe what he thinks about those who ruined his life, he just stares at the ground in silence. Crippled for life, he is now the lowest of the low.
[ The practice of maiming children so they can make better begging profits has long been practiced in India and Pakistan - no doubt other similar countries too. Parents have done this to their own children. These are the kind of people who are replacing westerners. The rate of (commonplace) incestual child abuse in India is worse than any other country too. ]
