India's Baby Falak

This is Falak, this is India and this is the story of our own inhumane psyche, where nobody is at fault, but a few poverty stricken people living with their own miseries. The people who should be accountable, in the various child welfare agencies, and the government  for paying them salaries, go scott free, as other Falaks and worse brutalities continue to happen... Click link below to read the story. It will be worth it...


NEW DELHI–The story of Baby Falak is a close-up look at the underbelly of Indian society: prostitution, human trafficking, bride selling, and domestic violence.

It also is the story of a small group of ordinary people – a young mother, a rebellious teenager, a taxi driver, a tire repairman, a lonely graduate — trying to escape the tribulations of their daily lives, and of the people who exploited them, the institutions that failed them, and the people who helped them. 

The events that transpired over 10 months, from mid-2011 to early 2012, moved millions, at least briefly, to unprecedented outrage and introspection, as if India were asking itself: “Are we like this only?”
