The fallout from the Nepal earthquake tragedy, which has killed 8,000 and injured nearly 20,000, worsens by the day.

The death toll recorded till now is the highest ever recorded for such natural calamity!

In a sinister new development parents are being urged to protect children from roaming gangs of ruthless human traffickers, who, it is reported, earned $570 for every girl or boy they supply to their clients!

And the market in Nepal is wide open right now!

At least 950,000 children in Nepal are in makeshift tents, on the streets or simply out of school and will not be able to return for months unless urgent action is taken.

With all classrooms closed until May 29, in a country which in recent years has lost 200,000 girls to cross-border trafficking and exploitation, fears are now growing that children consigned to the streets or camps may be easy prey. Even some of the parents wouldn’t shy away from selling them off, given the destitute, homeless and food-less conditions! It is a scary situation there!

Official Nepal Government radio messages are now being broadcast warning parents not to leave their children unguarded and to look out for suspicious people trying to talk to girls in the many camps that have suddenly emerged.

Social workers in the country estimate that in normal times about 7,000 to 15,000 girls and young women every year are trafficked across the long border into Indian brothels. They are fearing a huge surge in numbers. MaitiNepal, an NGO working to prevent trafficking to India for forced sex work and to rescue and rehabilitate survivors, has claimed traffickers in that area are being paid upwards of 30,000 Indian rupees every time they supply a person.

Girls not recruited into prostitution may be sold on as domestic slaves in India and boys are taken into forced labour.

The escalating threat displaced children now face from child exploitation emphasizes the need for urgent humanitarian aid to get children off the streets. Preventing child abuse and getting children back into schools are two sides of the same coin of child protection.

“Preventing child abuse and getting children back into schools are two sides of the same coin of child protection.”

We are now seeing that the costs of an earthquake are not to be measured just in lost human lives and physical injuries – but the prolonged suffering that comes when traffickers exploit a crisis to permanently destroy these innocent lives.

Aamir Khan is an intelligent actor!

Since he is intelligent, he can’t be intelligent only when it comes to acting, but uses his mind even in other spheres of life!

That is the reason we so often read headlines about how sad or heartbroken or shattered Aamir Khan is with all these tragedies happening around us in life. Or for that matter, his show Satyamev Jayate focuses on common man’s problems, but has more focus on capturing the tears of Aamir!

Does he really care or is it just his way of exploiting human emotions for his personal gain?

Well, as far as his public integrity is concerned, it is impeccable; when it comes to the real intentions behind all those grand words and over the top emotions, that’s a different matter altogether.

For example, he suddenly became a champion of social causes when he joined Narmada Bachao Andolan way back in 2006 just after his socially relevant blockbuster, Rang De Basanti released. It was a good cause to be a part of, but where does it stand today?

No clue! Again, with his show Satyamev Jayte he raised so many important questions relevant to the society and got everyone hooked on to their TV sets. Earned lots of money out of it, but what is the ground reality on each and every one of such issues? No clue!

Now the shoot for his next movie Dangal has started and given the marketing genius that he is, he has started the promotional campaign already!

Latest statement about him being extremely heartbroken with the rising toll of victims in Nepal earthquake is a testimony to the fact that he is just garnering attention. Would have been much better if he would have utilised resources at his disposal to help out the earthquake-stricken country!

A statement in media only gets attention, not the food and shelter for victims!

The bottom line is that Aamir raises the right points, talks about the right subjects, brings out debate on matters actually useful for the society, but all that results in nothing for changing the ground reality.

All it helps is to add a few zeroes in his bank account.

To be fair to him, he is one thinking actor and is doing a marvellous job in providing sensible and genuine entertainment to his fans. However, he should stop exploiting people’s emotions to earn money out of. Unless one can do something to bring change, it is of no use to sit in the confines of your comfortable air-conditioned vanity vans and just give statements thinking that alone can make the world a better place!

And yes, Mr. Khan, it would be better if we see you dealing with socially relevant issues all round the year instead of only when your movie is in the pipeline or you have some show coming up for promotion! That’s being an obvious opportunist! You’re smart; if you have to do it, make it look smarter at least!
