Reviews

[Ishan Nag · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a great case in how poverty and innocence can be exploited in such an ruthless manner.The report does a good job in touching different aspects of the issue, Be it the police , the pimps , the carpet factories , the debt-begar system in brothels , AIDS , illiteracy etc

High time Indian and Nepali authorities come out of their moral cacoon and do the needful. The burden definitely lies with India.
