India is a country
wealthy of culture and traditions which upholds respect for women and children.
Indian scriptures define children as divine beings. They were treated as Gods for
their innocence and honesty but now we can see they are being tortured both
physical and mentally, forbidden from their rights to get minimum education and
not even provided with clean food or stay when they are being brought to cities
as labors ‘Child Labors’ . India at its peak of glory and success, has a
different face where there are innumerable politicians who gorge the national
treasury. People with high ranks and cadre
of professionals have turned out to be darn insensitive towards the tormenting
of these kids.
Article 21-A and the RTE Act came into
effect on 1 April 2010 and thus we all thought children of India, the future of
India is safe.
The title of the RTE Act incorporates the words ‘free and compulsory’.
But where is justice??
How many are going to school?
Many villages in India are yet underdeveloped. There the people have just one
motive behind survival- earn and eat. They eat to survive and they earn to eat.
Poverty is the main reason behind everything. These villagers send kids to
cities to earn and guess how much they earn? Recently in a survey I found many
people in certain parts of Orissa earning Rs 2/- per month. In this kind of poverty
ridden life how would u expect a child to attend his school?
Once when I was having lunch at a local hotel near my locality, I saw a small
boy cleaning tables. I could make out from his looks that he might be eight or
nine. I was watching him work- when a middle-aged man started hitting this boy
for spilling water on his table. At this point I intervened, A staff came and
whispered in ears that the man is a regular customer and works with the
government. He also mentioned that this is a scene that keeps repeating every
day.
I called the boy near me and
asked him from where he is and why he isn’t going to school. He was so
frightened that he didn’t want to open up anything to me. When I told him that
I wanted to help him he begged me that he didn’t want to leave this place. I
was shocked to hear the reason why he did not want to leave this dirty hell.
Later we made him aware of various government schemes which could benefit his
family he got convinced and went back to his hometown. There are many more children
in our society who are not aware of all these government assistance.
Be bold to stand against all the odd consequences that may follow when these shells
labeled as slaves are destroyed. Let these tiny humans grow to paint a more
powerful India. Let us march together against child labour!
Jai Hind!
