Blood Bricks!!!

Its an ever-changing world which shocks, surprises and stirs our souls at the same time. We humans are taking giant leaps in commerce and development while being aloof of the plight of some of our own at the same time. Its as if we cannot hear the cries or see the pain. India is building its power houses with the blood of these brick kiln workers from Odisha. Its a sight of slavery and destitute. I urge those who cannot visualise it to sit in a time capsule and go back to the time of Pharaohs building the pyramids using slaves!

Why not strike a  balance between profits and humanity? Why not stop and create a more human world? Britain has set up a National Contact Point for alleged abuses and this year made changes to its Companies Act to require companies to include human rights issues in their annual reports, from 1 October. British companies operating in India must abstain from staining their hands by investigating due diligence and human rights violations in the supply chain.

These humans need a little nudging from all of us.. A nudge to get up and refuse to be exploited...
