There is a great saying that goes like…..
“Children are like wet cement whatever falls on them leaves an impression”
But what about the children who spend their childhood carrying cement at building sites???????what kind of impression of life do they carry???
An Indian poet has rightly stated that he would like to have childhood again and again. He explained that the child is free from all tension, work and is free to do what he likes. Normally a child studies, has his freedom, plays and is not bothered or worried of any responsibility of livelihood. I wonder how many children who work to earn their living would agree with this poet.
DESIGNER OUTFITS vs TORN OUT CLOTHES……
LAVISH PARTIES vs CHARITY FEEDS…….
EDUCATION AT PRESTIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS vs ROADSIDE BARGAINING……
BORN TO BE BLESSED vs BORN TO BE PUNISHED….
Quiet easy to distinguish which category we belong. Isn’t it ????
Just think twice………
What if we were in the second one????would life had been the same????obviously a no ,
Just think again…..
What if One day you are turned into a child who has to earn his and his family’s living by toiling whole day at a cigarette rolling factory or a chai wala’s stall?? No more school,no more going around with friends,no more spending money on so called luxuries,no parties,no fun……………just u and your hard life.
I don’t know if we can feel life the way a child who doesn’t know what a school looks like feels.
We know how to get rid of a child getting after us in a market to buy his stuff but we don’t know how he’s still alive after being so much disgraced.
CHILD LABOUR….. a truth ,but hidden under the “so called” files of the “so called” policies of the government against child labour.
Leaders and socialists say so much about child labour and saving children from exploitation and torture..and its not only said but a lot of efforts are actually made in this way ………
But I don’t know why these efforts don’t show up results………
I believe that unless and until anyone can feel the pain of tiny struggles they can’t be helped to live a better life..
The efforts made for the eradication of child labour will only turn out into results when the common people know what the problem is and join hands to help the the little culprits with no crimes………………….”OUR CONTRIBUTION CAN END CHILD LABOUR”
Almost Everyone of us knows and agrees to the fact that education is the most important factor for the healthy development of a child’s mind and life but we highly educated people…..can’t we do anything or our society????
The monsters of PROFIT,GREED,LUXURY,POVERTY AND IGNORANCE are making the future of inda aily meal for their hunger……and if we people can save our future just by a little bit of awareness and effort then is there any harm?????
At the age of carrying bags full of books and knowledge the future of our country is carrying the burden of poverty and illiteracy of his tiny head……and there is no hand to help him out.
I know writing such articles can’t make a huge difference in people’s mind and their thinking but I believe such small efforts and awakenings will help create a drastic change in the picture of today and tomorrow in india.
And I would consider myself the luckiest one if I can make even one person think the way I do…..
And if we together can change even one life we would be true humans …….
