Great documentary, amazing story, not ever fiction would create such a storyline!

Hey man, did you see the documentary? of course he was overdoing the kid but it’s not a simple black and white story I think. At the end of the picture I really felt a great respect and admiration for Biranchi Das and the efforts he was making to change all those slum kids’ lives. Cheers.

Yes that's right, let's go back a few hundred years, ignoring basic science & history. Let's also pretend that magic men are just as effective as doctors, too!
You just wait until he's an adult.
Ask him what choice he REALLY had. Ask him how well he can move once he's an adult after his ability to grow normally had been massively stunted by such excessive, abusive strain on a growing child's body.
Of course it's child abuse for fuck's sake
But hey that's cool, because you feel inspired.
