I was scrolling down a Hindi news paper, a picture captured my attention few child of around 12-13
years of age were making the flags of some political party and for their 16 hours of work they were only paid 100 rupees. So pathetic it seems and it can't be compared from anything and there is not any justification from the side of the person who have given them this work.
A day before yesterday I read an Article by Kailash Satyarthi The Nobel Laureate who won the Nobel Peace Prize 2014 for their work againts the child labour and his initiative Bachpan Bachao Andolan,
Though I also got a chance to work with him during my Schooling when few of my friends along with me were working on a program called " LIGHT MY LIFE "(LML)
In his article he was very much happy about tge recent decision if the Government of India to ratify the 2 decade long International Labour Organisations convention 182 and 138 which seeks to abolish worst form of child labour and reduces minimum age of employment
Almost all of the nations have ratified it , its not certain even today that we will ratify it or not.
"Children are future of the country " many leader use to say this during their election campaign. From Jawahar lal nehru who was famous as 'chacha nehru' among children to any one present.Every one has just used this issue but never even tried to work upon this stigma of child labour
Look at their pathetic conditions they are malnourished they die just because of Hunger,Malnutrition,Hard labour etc
I mean Hunger??? So strange we got independence in 1947, we are on Mars the highest growing economy , foreign policy. .this that..but its a bitter reality people, children dies out just because of hunger..time to give a tight slap on our faces.I am not giving here the statistics as they are fake ,reality is much more cruel.
What type of future we are heading towards where there is not any security of life..what type of example we are setting in front of those who will finally manage to survive.
I think not only the leaders of this country are responsible but we are also responsible who elect such type of leaders even after knowing their policies we are tremendously supporting them..just because he is of our caste. We are ready to die on the name religion, region,caste. Look on the name of reservation many demonstrations are made.
See 50,00,000 people gathered to protest for Jallikattu Ban.
Thousands of Crores is spent to built any idol to attract the voters.
What type of society we are heading forward instead of doing fake assumption we have to rethink the whole scenario instead of asking for Laptop ,Washing Maschine ,Saree etc in the election ask for
EDUCATION
HEALTH
INNOVATION
If these things are gathered together i think the time will come we will be able get rid out of every problem.
We have to save our future.
"Mitti ke bane unn khilono ki mahak
le na chahta hun
Khilkhilati dhoop me udna chahta hun
wo barsaat ke mousam ki tap-tap padti boonde
Maa ke hathon ki roti
Or School ka maidan
Jeena chahat hun
Udna chahta hun"
Poem Dedicated to Every Child
