India's five-year-old policeman
At a time when most children prepare to go to school, Saurabh Nagvanshi is off to the office. Saurabh works at a police station in Raipur, the capital of India's central state of Chhattisgarh. He is five years old. He is part of an Indian system that allows a family member to take the post of a government employee who dies while in service. There is no age limit and many families have no alternative but to send young children to work to make ends meet. It's not that the kid is a child prodigy or something, the simple reason is that India is a poor country with stupid rules. # posted by masquerader @ 12:17 ::
