[Assam] Revealed: Assam kids plant bombs for Rs 100

[Ram Sarangapani]

C'da,

its under->classes, it must hurt their sensitivities to see these ULFA
rogues use children to do their >dirty work!

This is what one would call 'spinning out of control' :)

Yes, mal-treatment to children by any class of people is bad. But this
mal-treatment is not an organized effort by the GOI or some state or even a
group of people. What you are referring to is a social problem, and NOT a
connived effort by groups of people trying to harm children.

In the case of the ULFA is pure and simple - they want to save their own
hides and send children to fight men's wars. These obviously are really
brave men - put women & children first. Remember Bhutan - they abandoned
women & children and took off. That is the backbone of the organization.

Well - they may have an excuse - the whole world mistreats children - from
Africa, Latin Americas to Asia (specially India) - so why shouldn't they
take this a step further - let children do the dirty work and die if
necessary?
