The Nuclear warheads proliferation of the world has reached an intolerable self destruction peak of causing wide spread poverty, hunger and the creation of 246 million working a children of the world.. Half of them are in India.! Every tenth Indian is a working child.150 million children in India will not reach the 7^th std said the prime Minister.

That is because there is no money for education , but abundantly available for war.

India spends 23142.22 crores on education and Rs 141 703 crores on defense to even an ever increasing budget.10 nations in the world have stockpiled 23 000 nuclear war heads capable of destroying the earth a million times., depleting its resources bringing about a climate change unfit for human survival.

Here is the stockpile:  Russia 5830, USA 5735, China 200!250, UK 200, Israel 200,

India 45~75, Pakistan 40~50 North Korea 1, Iran ?

The Practise of Ahimsa and Non violence is the only solution to the alleviation of Indian poverty, hunger and illiteracy.

The Bornfree undertook the Peacebycycle in 2008 on the theme from Bangalore to Lahore one ore one heart. Pedaling 2800 kms this was called the second Dandi March. Gaja 9 year old student of the Bornfree was the leader of the expedition. We made salt at Dandi to commemorate the values of Ahimsa .7000 letters of love were collected from the children of  India written to the children of Pakistan, which will be read on  Gandhi’s 140^th Birthday

I request you to be present at the event to provide publicity for the issue and to take AHIMSA forward
