Acts versus Awareness campaigns

In India, it has become a fashion with the social activists and NGOs and some organisations to demand legislation for implementing resolutions of the United Nations Organisation and other international  bodies, introduced mostly by developed countries and reflecting mostly their practices, views and concerns. The central and state governments in India should also take  into  consideration, India’s ancient ways of living, practices, beliefs, customs, traditions etc.  before accepting the demands of social activists. Some of the cases where the governments ignore public feeling and concerns relate to laws on:

child labour
child marriage
cruelty to animals
These laws should be amended to be in line with India’s traditions and customms
