There is no greater violence than to deny the dreams of our children.

During the past few years North East India has emerged as one of the biggest destinations for child trafficking.

For centuries, we were taught that anger is bad. Our parents, teachers, priests, everyone taught us how to control and suppress our anger. But I ask: why can't we convert our anger for the larger good of society?

A lot of work still remains but I will see the end of child labor in my lifetime.

I think of it all as a test. This is a moral examination that one has to pass... to stand up against such social evils.

If not now, then when? If not you, then who? If we are able to answer these fundamental questions, then perhaps we can wipe away the blot of human slavery.

There is no greater violence than to deny the dreams of our children.
