Sqad: //the sight of starving or begging children has no effect on me one way or another.//

That strikes me as being somewhat odd from anyone at all, but particularly coming from someone professing to be a retired doctor, - just sayin'.

As I said earlier, you can learn a lot of unexpected things on AB.

Like who Morrisey is, for example.

Terrible photo. ~But, but India spends on a space programme and we still give overseas aid to them. What is going wrong with how they spend their money? Obvious answer is that the Indian state does not care about this section of their population. Given that, what can anyone do? It pulls the heart-strings, no matter what.

I still don’t know why you posted this thread, Khandro. You say the picture accompanied a Spectator review of two books about Pakistan but I’ve no idea what books they are, what they said, or what the review said. Poverty is not unusual in third world countries and neither are orphaned or disabled children. I’ve seen very many children deliberately maimed by their parents in order that they are more successful in their allotted career - begging. What point are you trying to make?

OMG what a tragic photo. Do you know a charity to help these boys, Khandro that I can donate to?

As you can see Tambo, that particular photo has been around for some time - here it is in 2013.

Naomi ......I’ve seen very many children deliberately maimed by their parents in order that they are more successful in their allotted career - begging......

I didn`t think that anything else that happens in this world could shock me....I was so wrong! :(
