Shruti JI,
Alike you, I respect Indians as much as I respect Nepalese people.
I had been an invisible visitor of sajha.com hitherto and was silently embracing the cyber horseplay with eagerness until I came across your thread. My first take on you was – a common neophyte visitor who merely wants to raise awareness only to be pummeled by some selected combative sajha members with comments laden with sexism, misogyny and racism. You would then soon realize writing here was a mistake and choose to never visit sajha again. And I was correct on most part, except where you came back swinging but with sheer nobility and maturity that most of us would never dream of possessing.
So my hats off to you, it requires significant amount of leadership skills to not combat trolls with replies that match theirs.
Speaking of sex trafficking during troubled times, sadly it will only increase when girls and their parents not only struggle to make ends meet but to have a roof over their head. Amid this, education and awareness become damp squibs when the recipient has to respond to a hungry stomach and find a shelter to beat the monsoon downpour. Quite honestly, if I were a girl as gullible and naïve as them and lived in acute penury and suddenly find myself without food and shelter, thinking as far as what happens in that dark dank Delhi brothel few months later would be the last thing on my mind because a person who offers me an apple would be my god.
So how can we raise more awareness? And unlike some individuals who blame India even when they trip on a pebble maybe we could clean our own house first. Perhaps the local police should have database of Nepalese individuals who frequently visit villages from India, perhaps we should educate individuals but with perks and benefits, perhaps we should adopt those girls and educate them in our household, there are many ‘perhaps’ but to channel them effectively we need more resources and funds.
I spoke to my mother about adopting a girl from Sindhupalchok yesterday, not sure she’d agree, but I did my best.
