Detached from the anything that followed and solely on the "heading" of the thread. Three counts here: 1) The adults - i) The general excited populace, ii) The unemployed and have nothing better to do and would participate in any gai jatra, iii) Really concerned people with genuine interest in their heart, iv) The paid "bhada ko tattus," and v) The maoists,....errrrrrrr oh no, leave it. Who am I kidding here? All of the above mentioned cortrie, sans Maoist (do not want to waste my breath this once :)) have to ACTIVELY scold, tell, and advice those small kids to not to be out on the streets in these circumstances. For those who do not have shelter, the responsible bodies have to make sure that they are somewhere else. 2) The security forces have to show utmost restrain while dealing with the kids. although one can lose their mind in the heat of the moment; abusing children is NOT acceptable. 3) And those children themselves have to understand that as much as they love to play "sikari" with their "guleli" - you do not kill a herd of tigers with a stick. The most probable outcome would be --> they would all be eaten by the beasts. Case in point - the pictures that have been of great benefit to those who INT THE FIRST PLACE should not have allowed or stopped those kids to be out. But I guess, it serves those selfish groups purpose. Although it is not a black and white,the solely lies on the adults who was participating in the "peaceful" protest and then to the security forces. Spread the awareness - let the kids be. Keep them safe. Teach them, advice them, scold them. When push comes to shove "ek dui laat dera bagaide ni huncha." Better than being crushed by a herd of donkeys and a raining bullets. My million bucks - la ja taa IndisGuise:O
