 In India, Children's Day is celebrated on November 14, which is Pandit Nehru's birthday.
Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, loved children and was affectionately called "Chacha Nehru" by little ones. Children's Day pays tribute to all children and commemorates the birth of Jawaharlal Nehru.
Nehru's love for children and their welfare is well known. Children always had a special place in his heart and life. He was never happier than when in the company of little ones. He believed that children are the future of the nation. During his lifetime, child welfare made great strides in India. His memory will live forever not only with the children of this country but with every citizen.
We know all this already.
So what's new this year? This year on Sitagita, we wish to bring to light child rights and child abuse. Is enough being done about it? Female infanticide. What other outrage is happening in our world today? Would Chacha have approved?
Speak out. Have your say right here. Your opinion matters. These views and opinions will be published on the portal with your name and photograph if your message is meaningful to humanity, society and particularly children. So write in now.
