I read someone from Harvard criticized India for child labor for construction of the games stadiums. I do believe kids should be in school, but if they do this for an hour or so as part of chores, that might be different. The children should be in school or more adult labor should be brought in.
However, until Harvard rectifies its reputation for using humans in experiments and children for mind control and other things, they don't have a lot of room to talk.
I still haven't written about how the Ivy league colleges were a part of implementing the CPS (so called child protection laws) which made it easier for their scientists and government people, to experiment on kids.
As for accusations in the CNN article about children living in the dirt, this isn't because of the games. It's because of poverty, period. Maybe some of the Harvard alums could donate monies to prevent this kind of condition, rather than criticize the poor for being poor.
Also, these games could be a way for India to get new revenue and make some money, which would help support their economy.

Unfortunately free education does not uniformly exist in India. Although I am not a proponent for child labor, historically speaking, when it is outlawed, the children then resort to brothels to make money. I have to say working in a factory for 12 hours a day is a lot better than prostitution. Although it would be ideal for children to be in school, most of the them have to work to provide food for their families, as often older members are unable to work. Sad most Indians have cell phones and are remiss in plumbing and education.
