This looks strange, but a Rajashtani boy has eaten a forbidden apple before his right age! Well, Khiya Ram Jat has become the youngest father of this largest democracy. He was married at 11 to a girl ,who was barely two years older than him.
This is not a laughable matter. This shows how unsuccessful our family planning experts are! Khiya Ram’s fatherhood poses a challenge to social advertisement gurus, who often coin -Child marriage is a bane, Hum Do Hamarey Do etc.
This also shows, our fragile social development.
Khiya ram belongs to a state which is one of the global tourist destinations.
Can state government explain to its esteemed guests this is an aberration !
One may often read about State government ‘s publicity material on social development .
If this is how what we call progress then let's hang our heads in shame.
It's high time, when moral guardians should stop their vicious blabber against sex education and sensitise the masses about "birth control, domestic harmony and education". A child is a child who needs proper love and care ! He or she can’t be treated as a folly or a medical lapse !
Lets hope, health ministry will take cue out of it and realise its folly before it gets late.
But,who will pay heed to a common Indian!
Alas, this happen to be a nation, where cabinet ministers have no qualms on producing half a dozen worthy successors!

Scribbling Pad,
Alas! Nothing could be done !
This has become a normal norm.

so true. 11 is the age to play cricket and talk about dishum dishuming vilains. What absurdities can people stoop to. The parents should be interrogated and arrested.That is the way to keep up public fear for such gross disobedience of the Govt. it is not one person's lapse. Every early pregnancy causes the nation heavy. To how far will the govt allow individual freedom to destroy national interest! I wonderrr!!

Well, such is the state of things in our country. Leaders are there to fill their own coffers and advance their power. The populace can go to hell.

Ann,
This is a norm !
Many parents compel their kids to tie knot on Akka teej(Akshay tritya).
Although, Courts of law have passed strictures against this practice,but nothing happens !

Dear Ashish,
Your tryst with societal plight and in bringing to light what is not right is a maxime for every one who has some byte to write. Centuries come and go, many a Raja Ram Mohan Rais lived and died, but my nation never awakes to the glory of modern thought. Irony of a state who has woman Chief Minister, who would positvely know the agony and pain of a mother at 12. Any way for tourism and Guiness book, it is one for the records !

I too read the news and was astonished. We are said to storm the world with our intelligence. But within there is also rot and decay.
When eill the polarity disappear and we will have one India?
