Nearly 200 Child Workers Freed from South India Brick Kiln
Published 4 January 2017
Police believe that some of the children are trafficking victims and were working alongside adults posing as their parents.
Indian police rescued nearly 200 children, most of them under the age of 14, who had been found working in a brick kiln in the southern state of Telangana in one of the biggest operations in the region, officials said Wednesday.
The children were rescued from a brick kiln in Yadadiri district, 25 miles from state capital Hyderabad, as part of "Operation Smile," a national campaign to tackle child labor and missing children.

There are hundreds of thousands of children working those kiln farms in that part of the country.
There are brick and kiln farms every mile or two.
I would be more impressed if their government 'rescued' millions of abandoned children and infants living in and foraging through refuse piles though out the cities.
But they won't. They are considered 'cursed' like the widows and are untouchable - so their government does little to nothing for them because the governments of India are ruled by the Brahmin caste of Hindu priests that actually govern the country.
Methinks this has more to do with collecting an income tax than it does 'rescuing' child workers. The government is on a tear right now to 'tax' every shred of personal wealth that exists within the country. That is what is going on there. That is why Modi is hell-bent on imposing a cashless system on all by the end of the year there.
