[jerryswallow]

[malamgeerqasim]

The little kid with flowers made me cry abruptly ,,,, can anyone of was even think about this kinda life ofr our own kids / siblings.

:(

[isfand89]

Unfortunatly behind these number there people who struggles to meet the basic human needs,i would love to see that we are solving the mess created by the british but unfortunatly is simply not happening.

[isfand89]

and to enrich the already rich ppl.

Unfortunatly the worst is yet to come,the indian population is still icreasing a an alarming rate(1 child born every 1,2 second) and is going to reach 1,6 billion just by 2025.So you can immagine food inflation and water shrtages are only going to worsen.

[isfand89]

so how you can undestand we should start to jugde extreme poverty level by poverty 1,6 dollar,1,75 means that pverty levels is still around 60%.

poverty levels in india have not only seen a increase in number but the decline as percentage of the population is still to proved.

Surely there have tremendous growth gdp after the 1991 ecomonical reforms,but the only result of this economical growth has been to bring the indian middle class comsumption level to the west middleclass comsumptionlevel

[isfand89]

Second point

The goverment of india and the world bank are saying that since 1981 to today ppl living in extreme poverty has gone down from 60% of the population(385 million,the total p. was 700) to 40% of the population (480million,the toatl p. is 1,2 billion) but unfortunatlty these numbers tend to mislead ,obvously due to inflation the purcashing power of the dollar is not the same as it was in 1981 but declined a lot.

[tubxyoob]

[adarshmanav]

Thats so sad.....

[rosbuske66]

Pakistan desperatly need chinese style 1 child policy and raise the marriage age to 25year old. Pakistanis are now 160million on a about 800000 square kilometer surface. Population increase cant go on for long.

[badboypass]

Thanks for uploading and sharing. Well done to the film-maker for revealing the issue. People who discuss the collapse of Pakistan in a matter of fact way should watch this video and then imagine 12,000 children being a drop in the ocean should Pakistan fall apart.

Where is the Government? Where is the UN? Where are all the aid/charity organisations?

Countries such has Pakistan and Indai (many others..) should be shamed into taking care of thier children and most needy!

@badboypass

Stop bullshitting. I am not denying child poverty in Hindustan, but India had made significant improvement in the quality of living of its people. Don't fall for the shitty Indian media. India and Pakistan cannot be compared and are poles apart.

[isfand89]

@zakuza92

just some facts

People living with less than 2 dollar per day:

India 75% of the population(800 million)

Pakistan 60% of the population (96 million)

People living wid less than 1 dollar per day ,so below poverty line

India 37%

Pakistan 37%

poles apart??

@isfand89

India has 350 million middle class and it's urban population is expected to reach 50% by 2022. It takes time for a country to come of the mess created by the British. Only 62 years have passed. It took U.S 200 years just to fix its political system. It takes time for a country. Try to understand this, plus India has a huge population and no oil and less than 1 or $2 a day is set aside by the West to show their supremacy. This is Western criteria and that's not the right way to judge.

[zakuza92]

@isfand89

Isfand89, India is making improvements, but it takes time for a country to build up fully. It's economy may be growing by 8 or 9% or it may be 4th largest economy, But, but, it still has a long way to go. Nation building is tough and requires a lot of effort from the people(citizens) and the hukumat (government). Both our govt. and people are trying hard. So, it takes time. Indians are not robots that they have magic in their hands that they'll instantly transform their nation.

[isfand89]

@zakuza92

zakuza92 first of all ,the indian govermnt and the wrld bank are saying that 75% of indian population live with less than 2$ per day(international standard fro poverty,1.25$ is the standard for extreme poverty) whih means tht the remaning 25%(300 million) includes the low middle class,middle class and the elite.so cbovously there cant be a 350 million middle class,even the 300 million middle class is just a myth,the actual size of middle class is far far smaller

[zakuza92]

@isfand89

Look, by 2030, 50% of the country will be urban. Like I told you, changes don't happen all of a sudden. Plus this video is pertaining to Pak and issues facing it. I don't want to discuss with u abtt whatever's happening in India or America or any other country. The comments here should be made regarding what's happening in the video & some meaningful responses for it. We cannot get side-tracked and start discussing about something totally different tht has nothing to do with the video

[PAKISANA]

And that Owais kid is so smart, I feel sorry for him. May Allah be with him.

[PAKISANA]

wow.. thanks for posting this. As a Pakistani, I definitely want to go to Pakistan and improve conditions for street children. I knew this happened and saw a little bit of it but did not know about the other things involved such as drugs and abuse.

[avinashhingorani]

this is what, pakistan should not concentrate on attacking India, dont feel insecure of India . Try to improve ur situation, try to educate these children otherwise they will also turn into terrorists. May God bless this child.

[ninjamann2710]

ye kese maa to bab hai, yo apne bashea ko ghar ze nikal dete hai

i cant understand how a mother or a father get their kids out of home.

mera to dil dukhda hai ye dekne pai

If everybody in pakistan will give zakat even than will be a better life in pakistan.

if the kids can go to school, even they can get out of this poornes

allah tala in bocheo ki rosi kol deo

[pak92]

its all bec of fucking mushy. He needs to help these children more then US. One day these children will kill him.

[envsh03]

This is of concern to all decent Pakistanis -and there are still some of us around!

Why isnt anything being done about the criminal elements in the police, who threaten these children & take their money from them?

Shame on you!

[buraaq78]

YAA ALLAH!!

This is so sad..

[medqueen]

yes plzz atleast inform us if he is still on streets

[Nsidhuvirk]

What was done after this program, was any attempt made to atleast reunite Owais with his family or attempt to investigate what kind of abuse was he facing at home.

I want to know, please let me know what was done after airing of this show.

God Bless.
