Dear Subash Babu

As a mother of two children in Singapore I feel very very sorry for Buddhia after watching his documentry.
” The boy who couldn’t stop running”. I strongly feel that Budhia is being expoloited by his gaurdian for fame and money. Budhia is a boy with talent but it is very sad to see that his talent are being expoloited by his guardian Biranchi Das and it is so cruel of his guardian to not even give the boy a drop of water when he is running.How cruel is that? For God sake Budhia is just a child. I am outraged and sad that even with human rights this kind of behaivour is acceptable in India. Budhia�s gaurdian is only interested in money,who has taken advantage of his misfortune and is trying to make their fortune out of a small child. No matter which part of the world a child is still a child and they should be protected of their rights. A child need to be cared for and loved for in every way that is possible. I ask every parent in every country who has heard or watched Budhia to sent an e-mail or whatsoever to the Asian Human Rights Committe or what ever Organizations existing for children to stop the Guardian from further expoloiting Budhia. I really feel this Innocent soul should be placed under someone who is “HUMAN”.

Sincerely
Daegma Joseph Manuel.

Dear Subhas Babu,
It is long since the above writeup was published . I thought that by now Buddhia issue would have been solved . But really felt sorry when I saw a article in HT today morning . I came to learn that state is planning arrest Buddhia & his couch of course on the ground of boys health . So I searched out for the above blog.

I totally agree with your views. It is true that some people are trying to put hurdles on path of the boy.

But I also apprehend that the he is being exploited by some people . I don’t know what the real intention of Mr. Biranchi Das is, but I think that he may be exploiting the boy .

I’m not in situation to make any contribution toward Buddhia’s well-being but strongly do I believe that this situation can be tackled in a better way .

I would like to appeal to all the high profile people to make sure that if the boy is really being exploited, he is sent to proper hands.

I also come across many articles in media that hints at orissa’s inadequate concentration on sports. This boy’s talent being well established, I think that he should be handed over to such sports-persons of our country, whose guidance would be more unambiguously beneficial to determined boy. I recommend P.T.Usha.

I feel very stongly that Budhia is expoloited by his gaurdian. Budhia is undoutabley very talented however, the boy has a regime that is more difficult than that of a adult athlete. I belive his gaurdian would never put his own child in similar position and I am outraged that even with human rights this kind of behaivour is acceptable in India. I strongly agree with the comment of Pramila Mallik who state Budhia’s gaurdian is only interested in money. Who has taken advantage of his misfortune and is trying to make his fortune. I ask every parent in India would you put your child through what he puts Budia through? Childern should grow up in a safe enviroment with love and support to enable them to become good decent human being. I belive Pramila Mallik is involved as this story has become such a public issue and often in women’s issue the abuse goes unchallged and as it is often hidden.

Sincerly

Dear Subash babu,

This is an excellent writeup though little lengthy.
Let us wait an see if Budhia will be sacrificed like
Dharmapada. I am sure he will flourish because the
entire Orissa and India is with him. Dharmapada was killrd
-ed to safeguard the interests of ” Barasahabadhei ” . But
here none can touch Budhia as the blatant conspiracy
against him has been hatched by few jelous and vested
interests. If he would heve been the son of an I.A.S.
officer, a politician or a celebrity none could have dared to show finger towards him.

If the State Government is so much worried to safeguard
the interests of the children from exploitation why they are
blind towards thousands of children sufferring in the
streets, slums, railway stations and busstands ? What the
socalled NHRC or the Asian Hunan Right Committee is
doing for them ? Is it not their duty to seek explanation
from the Government about the sufferring and expoitation
of children in poverty-sticken Orissa ?

Mrs Pramila Mallick, is the minister for Women and Child
Welfare. She must be aware that about a fortnight back
only one sex worker in ” Malisahi ” was identified with
HIV positive. Now the number has gone up to six. Was it not the duty of the Women and Child Welfare Department to rescue and isolate
those ladies who have virtually become ” bisa kanya ” for
the society. Why NHRC is silent regarding giving protection to
such ladies in distress ? Why they are being allowed to
continue in the sex bazar and spraed the AIDS ?

With warm regards,
Sincerely,
Prasanta Patnaik.
