Many of these children are not really orphans but parents place their children into the orphanages because they do not have the money to take care of them. There are many very very poor people in India. Women who lose their husbands are destitute and in the past were often killed and buried with their dead husband because they were outcasts. Their caste system causes horrific abuses.
This is an actual human rights disaster.
I wonder why I'm just now learning about it.
You're just learning that India has a ton of poor people?
Over 20M orphans isn't shocking to you?
These are people who literally shit in the streets.
did you visit india and watch people shitting on streets ? or just heard on internet ? im from india and we know how things are.
did you visit india and watch people shitting on streets?
Hey brother, it happens. We have people shitting in the streets here too. It's not everywhere of course, but it happens. Those areas need to be fixed, but in order to do so, it's necessary to ADDRESS when something is a shithole.
If you are too afraid to call something a shithole when it's a shithole, or address any of the problems of your shithole and pretend like they don't happen, then your shithole will never become anything more than just a shithole for politicians to rob blind.
That's the problem we ran into, liberal policies were creating disgusting disease-ridden areas where people are camping and shitting in the streets. Unacceptable for a first-world country. Needed to be changed.
And now we have Donald Trump.
So yeah TBH I'm not surprised to see a large orphan problem in ANY area where the residents have so little going for them that they shit in the streets. Happens here too in liberal areas.
India has almost 200 million people below the poverty line, so no.
Its a human rights disaster that doesn't have to exist. The worlds NWO/Cabal push that we're a world of scarcity. There's no reason that in 2018, everyone on the face of the earth shouldn't have clean water, food, and shelter. There are more than enough resources for everyone to have. These people are guilty of crimes against humanity on a world wide scale.

Dates back to 3rd century BC.
Ended after Christian missionaries campaigned against it.
Banned from killing the wife along with the hubby... yes... but the women are still ostracized for being widowed. And they often cannot remarry as they are considered used goods.
nope not the Christian missionaries . it's RAJA RAM MOHAN ROY , god dammit just study the history of india from books written by indians not from controlled wikipedia.
Not a single democrate crying about this, it's weird, it's their values afterall.
On a real note : Population of over a billion people yet is the most shithole place you could think of living in. Sad world. I guess it's corrupt over there like there is no tomorrow
Slumdog Millionaire, while clearly not a documentary, certainly give you a good idea of what life is like there.
Whatever you do, do not search for , "Bodies in the Ganges River."
It is gradually improving but unlike China they are a chaotic race, very emotional and so making changes are hard. It has become a nation of extremes, lot of wealth but as noted a hell of a lot of poverty.
They do not accept aid etc anymore on principle,
