Only God can help these children. Pakistani government has no time for them. They are busy in eliminating the Taliban.

Yes i agree with you Yash. The government should give first priority to the plight of these kids,otherwise they will fall victim to the extremists.An old proverb well fits to the situation,”Nib the in the bud”.

Both the countries should pay heed to this problem, instead of spending half of their budgets on defence.

We hope that one day these two neighbours will realize that ”Poverty Bomb” is far more dangerous than ”Atomic Bomb”.

Countries can’t progress till the time they don’t show make their foundation strong....and by foundation i mean the citizens of the country and most importantly, children.

For eliminating Taliban, Pakistan need to eliminate hunger and poverty first of all.

Your are 100% right.

Chunk of the extremists are from poor families.

Don’t disturb them. They are the raw material for Taliban and Al Qaeda.

In my humble view it is the problem of both countries of South Asia.

We should take joint steps for the elimination of poverty and the problem of street children.

Very well written article.

Children are the future of any nation,Let’s not ignore the plight of these lesser souls.Providing them a quality life should be high on the priority list of all the governments.

Thanks ARVIND for appreciating the article.

If we give proper guidence,financial help,and education to every poor child around the globe,we will produce thousands of great personalities like Nelson Mandela,Maozatung and Mother Treesa etc

Otherwise,

Terrorists............

Assasins..............

Prostitutes............

Drug curtels............

Smugglers..............

The Ball is still in our court.

A very well written article/report.

The dilemma with Pakistan’s plight of poverty is corrupt leadership and distinct social classes who don’t care for one another.

Thanks Dear Ikram for your sincere appreciation as well as valuable comment.

Pakistan has been unlucky in this matter.After M.A Jinnah(QuadeAzam),there is a huge vaccum,there is still a beam of hope.

Abdul Sattar Edhi(Social Worker) is a good example in this case.

Nice reading this post. It is rightly mentioned that children if brought up properly will turn into responsible citizens. We cannot wait for the government to do something for them, coz, politicians are usually a busy lot trying to outsmart one another, or indulging in some or other kind of vote bank politics. One way out for these children will be if some affluent households take it upon themselves to educate them and help them to make a life for themselves.

Thanks alot for liking the article and putting your valuable comment on it.

Again i would say that Social Workers like Abdul Sattar Edhi are working on similar projects but still they need a helping hand from the government.

Very interesting to tell that these children daily come for garbage near the UNO and other NGOs’offices but no one pays attention to them.

The extremism that is being injected in the children of Islamic nations will prove fatal to the whole mankind if not corrected immediately.

Yes you are right Steve but it’s because of prejudiced curriculum.

Work should be done to curb this the problem of extremism by changing the cirriculm.

Faheem,

I believe the children mentioned in your article need ”food”, ”clothes” and ”Shelter” first before turning to understand what curriculum is. I believe the party in power in Pakistan holds the same mandate and carries the same mantra in every election, right?

I was actually throwing some light on the problem of extremism, as mentioned above by Steeve.

I agree with you some parties do cash the slogan, during election, to garner public support and votes.

Our poor public gets into the trap of cunning politicians.
