"India Shining", "Indian economy rising at 9-10% per annum", "India has maximum number of Dollar Billionaires in Asia", "India nowadays has maximum per capita income since India became independent in 1947". All these phrases paint a rosy picture of India which is emerging as a great economy. But in the same India, as per a TV report today on Channel "Aaj Tak", here is a man who buries his son for 16 hrs just to earn a living.

As per the TV report, a man in "Saharanpur City" in "Uttar Pradesh" state of India is showing an event (Tamasha), in which the man digs an eight feet deep big pit & then puts his 14-15 years old son "Guudu" in the pit & covers the pit with earth again. Then this man do cycling around the pit for 16 hrs during which people over there see all that event (Tamasha) & some onlookers even clap during that event.

After 16 hrs, the man again digs the pit, sends 2-3 persons inside the pit, who take out "Guudu" in the unconscious state from the pit. He is revived from unconsciousness & he again sits up, drinks water etc. After seeing all that event (Tamasha), people around there start clapping & give money to them for their entertainment.

Interestingly, it happens only 200 kms from New Delhi , capital of India. Police over there also becomes mute spectator & do not do anything. As per the "Guudu", he has done so earlier also 3 times & he does it all just to earn a living. As per him, only God knows whether he shall come alive after being buried alive but he has to do all that just to earn a living, just to fill his stomach, just to earn little money so that their daily needs get fulfilled.

Isn't it weird that a father risks his son's life just to earn a living? Is it the same "India Shining" where economy is rising at 9-10%. It is indeed bizarre!!!!!!!
