Child Labour in India
While you read this article in the luxury of an air conditioned room and a high-end laptop, more than 75 million children across the country are working hard just to meet their ends and more often than not, failing to do so. Despite of the slogans like ‘India Rising’ or ‘Feel good factors’, the reality that lurks behind the glitz and glamour of shopping malls and high rises is that of a child’s face, smeared with dust and dirt, dirty clothes hanging on bony structure and a rag full of plastic bags. It is harsh but true that a recent study has revealed that every fourth Indian child in the age group of 5-15 is a child labour. This contributes to a generous 20% of the total Indian GNP. It is a shameful achievement on part of the country to acquire second position in child labor count.
