India: Marginalized Children Denied Education

(New Delhi, April 22, 2014) School authorities in India persistently discriminate against children from marginalized communities, denying them their right to education, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Four years after India brought an ambitious education law guaranteeing free schooling to every child ages 6 to 14, almost every child is enrolled, yet nearly half are likely to drop out before completing their elementary education.

Very soul- touching video. This is very sad. Tribal community also have right of education. The cast system is an evil that deeply rooted into our society from ancient time. We have to change this condition. These children are future of our society. Teacher should give them a proper education and guidance with lot of love and care.

License to Kill - Well, in that case, look around any country you'll find more such cases. We would like to visit them in person and see what we can do.

[@gauravkumar-bz7nk]

You will find these type of cases in almost every corner of our nation, so if you really want to help them, pick any area, and try to help them.

its a sorry state of affair in india, The caste system was an evil that crept into our society through the course of history,All though we boast of us as the world's largest democracy, democracy is not grassroot , especially in rural india,, it will take atleast a hundred years for the medieval india to get rid of this feudalistic mindset..Iam an indian, am very saddened to see this..
