For at the hospital, a doctor was paid to amputate one of his healthy legs. Now speaking in the third person, as if to pretend it didn’t happen to him, Aamir tells me ‘the child’ was in ‘great pain’ after the operation.
‘The leg is removed here,’ he says, pointing to his own stump and grimacing. His limb had been severed mid-calf, leaving him without a foot.
Now in hiding after being rescued from the hospital by a charity, Aamir is one of hundreds of Indian children deliberately crippled by gangs so they can earn extra money begging. He still struggles to talk about his experience. Asked to describe what he thinks about those who ruined his life, he just stares at the ground in silence. Crippled for life, he is now the lowest of the low.

Still pretty abhorrent
There was a scene showing this in Slumdog Millionaire.
Bloody savages. Let the punishment fit the crime.
And my fourth job has now been outsourced to these people.
If you give a poor starving street child money, then there will always be a ready supply of miserable visibly starving children for you to give money to, even if they have to produce the misery and the starvation themselves.
If you give a poor mutilated street child money, then there will always be a ready supply of mutilated miserable street children for you to give money to, even if they have to produce the misery and the mutilation themselves.
So, please, when visiting a third world hell hole, grow a brain, you are not giving money to alleviate the misery, only to PERPETUATE the misery.
The are just “neighborhood organizers” doing some local limb rehabilitation.
They would be very comfortable in Chicago.
Ahh yes Indias Democrats in action.
Nothing new here folks. This has been going on for centuries and families, not mafia gangs, do this to their own children.
It is an industry with whole families going begging. It is, is essence, a profession over there.
I agree ....it was very good.
I am humbled to say that I would have never connected those dots. Being one of the masses who is moved by the individual’s suffering who stands in front of me, as Christ taught, it would never have occurred to me that their plight may have been artificially produced for the end means.
How sad.
It is also the Ronald Reagan philosophy. If you want more of something, subsidize it. It sure ‘worked’ in the USA for unwed motherhood.
It is the same thing if you give a alcoholic/drug addict homeless person money. You are not alleviating their misery (unless you consider being sober a miserable condition) you are perpetuating it.
There are charities that will help these people, and there are organizations that feed the hungry. But giving money to a starving child on the street just feeds the child's “pimp” and makes sure that having miserable looking half starved children out begging on the street is a profitable enterprise.
Big, across the broad board lesson here for all to think about on so many levels.
Gulliver was so large in relation to the Lilliputians that any act he did to “help” usually did as much bad as good.
The American currency in a tourists pocket is like a Leviathan trodding the earth in that part of the world. A few tourists give a few coins every day to the miserable looking half starved child without a leg? Suddenly there is an entire profit making enterprise sprung up looking to amputate children's legs to make them better beggars.
They are comprachicos.

A friend who spent a couple of years in Romania told me that this is done there as well, except it’s the parents who break their children’s legs and arms. This gains sympathy from tourists, who give more money to these crippled kids.
