NEW DELHI: One in five of children in India are physically abused while more than half have faced some form of sexual abuse, a UNICEF backed government study has revealed.

It's funny how Indians and Pakistanis poke fun at each other's problems, whenever highlighted in the international media. Correction, It's not funny to me anymore.. it's highly disappointing and it pisses me off now... why don't you guys understand the SAME problems exist in both countries?
To my Pakistani Brothers poking fun at India's child sexual abuse problem, dont you know how acute the problem of Child Sodomy is in Pakistan? Sexual abuse of children is in high numbers in Pakistan also..
To my Indian Brothers poking fun at Pakistan's honour killings, don't you know how many female babies are killed or dumped in rural India?
India and Pakistan are both pathetic when it comes to Human Rights Violations...

^^ Yep.. I would like to see the official media release by UNICEF.. reading it on our pakistan's dailytimes doesn't give it 2 much credit.. but in either case... what I said its true.. Indians and Pakistanis should realize a lot of their problems are common !

Re: Half of Hindustani children face sexual abuse: UNICEF
^^ Yeah I find it very hard to believe too.. half the kids being sexually abused.. but I wouldn't know.. I haven't spent much time in either India or Pakistan... but from the Indians or Pakistanis I know... they all seem to be treating their kids like precious gifts from god... I guess the story could be a lot different in the middle and lower classes back home..

The intention to flame here was very obvious. One hopes however, that certain topics would be spared being reduced to point scoring, just out of basic decency.
Threads like these will not be tolerated, and we will move from warnings to bans very quickly.
