Lion

Last week I saw the movie Lion. It was an extremely touching movie based on the real life story of Saroo Brierley.


What shocked me was the statistics of missing children that showed up at the end of the film. And the numbers are shocking and sad.



Several organizations are doing great work, both in terms of communication as well as attempting to stem the problem.

The government too is taking initiatives to tackle the issues head on.

And organizations like Childline India Foundation are doing heroic work in impossible circumstances.

Its time we gave a little thought to the issue and do our bit to help find and "... reintegrate every missing child."
