Child Labour in India

child labour in india, stopped the most recent annual working day for children from being wasted on a huge social or political issue. even though the head of al mattemont school had told the parents of students that it was voluntary and that the children should decide on the matter. this video can be found on youtube.. the child is seen left alone.. not by her own choice but because the adults could not control the crowd.. which incited.. and in the video where she makes her decision on her own and continues to play with the other children.. and there are kids who still has parents who will decide to take him / her back to school. today's child is responsible for the work of the one before them.. and the ones after.. the older one learns from them. the younger one just learns that.. she is now one year old and the process for this one to go to school has started. one minute she is a baby the next a kid.. like the one in the al mattemont school, no one will care if she decides to work or not and therefore she might as well go to school.. but this one.. like the one in the al mattemont school and the one who lives in a village, this one needs someone to take care of her.. atleast until she has a mind of her own and develops an understanding that she can make a choice.. as in the case of the al mattemont school.. and unlike the one who lives in a village.. this one also requires some kind of protection because she has no one who can stop the kind of abuse that is heaped on her by her own, from her own or anyone else. not even her parents. today it would be easy to see the one who lives in a village and the one who lives in the village as different.. but then it was exactly the same years back.. the one who lived in the village was different and not many people had an inkling of the kind of abuse that she was put through.. the day she found her voice.. was the day she started speaking out, protesting and calling a spade.. a spade. I came across this article today and I thought to myself this needs to be spread on a wider scale. it has had a great impact on me.. it has made me ask the question who's duty is it to protect these kids? who is it who decides that one is worth protecting more than the other? is it really necessary to build a fear of others when all that they really need is protection from us? there is also the tendency to disregard the reports of child labour in other countries as being carried out in third world countries.. and by that not recognising that it is practiced in second world countries as well. even the children that you see working in the field in the above picture will be at work for a few hours a day, before and after school, while they are in school itself and if their families are forced to go to work, then they might work in the fields after school hours too.. Here is an article that talks about a group of young Indian kids taking on the milk industry and their campaign is called Give us Our Freedom.. what an inspiration!! Posted by i took a walk with ken and alex.. we had just bought 2 new tires for the jeep but we also wanted to get the oil changed in the car too. so i drove the jeep to the shop and while we were waiting, the guy that took us to the shop was sitting on a bench in the shop and he was writing notes in a little book and was saying "i think i know who's car it is".. i looked at the guy.. he was a young guy in his 20s.. with longish hair.. and he had a nice face... as a matter of fact i think he was the most attractive one i've seen in ages.. i actually had a strange moment of thinking that i must know this guy.. but then i realized that he's totally new in town.. and it wasn't him, it was the other guy i've never seen before who was writing those notes in his little book.. i told Ken.. he was amused by my excitement.. "sorreee" he said.. and we went back to the shop.. this guy was still sitting there... Ken was looking at him and i could see that he was waiting to see what Ken would do. "how can we help you?" Ken said. "how much are the new tires?" the guy said. Ken reached into his pocket and took out the money and gave it to the guy.. "our bill's 200 dollars" Ken said. The guy looked at the bill and looked back at us.. and shook his head.. he then reached into his pocket and gave us some change.. "20 bucks for the oil change" he said. We were a little confused by that, we'd given him the money, but he wasn't holding any bills, but a little purse. "oh ok... ok, i get it" Ken said. "yeah it's ok" i said. Ken took the change and put it in his pocket. "it's ok" i said. "thanks" he said and walked away.. Ken was a little annoyed at this point. "it's like we're stupid and he thinks he's smart!" he said. "i think you're being too harsh on him.. he's just new to town" i said. "you know it's really not that uncommon to give him a 20.. it could be any other guy.. but he gives us some change when we paid the bill. and i was impressed when he gave us 20 dollars! i was like wow.. maybe he's actually legit!" i said. "oh alright, he was at least attractive.. well.. he was more attractive than any of the other guys i've seen in this city" Ken said, while looking at me in the face. "i really like his hair" i said.. i was actually getting angry. "i was also a little surprised when he gave us the change.. i mean, he probably had like $5 or $6Posted by i'm a lazy ass.. i don't like doing work.. i don't even like work all that much.. but if i need to do it.. i'll do it. and since i have to go into the office for some things, i'm gonna suck it up and do it. this morning i have to work in the garden. i'm out of 'sunrisers' Child labour in india, stopped the most recent annual working day for children from being wasted on a huge social or political issue. Even though the head of al mattemont school had told the parents of students that it was voluntary and that the children should decide on the matter. This video can be found on YouTube.

The child is seen left alone.. Not by her own choice but because the adults could not control the crowd. Which incited. And in the video where she makes her decision on her own and continues to play with the other children.. 

And there are kids who still has parents who will decide to take him / her back to school. Today's child is responsible for the work of the one before them.. And the ones after.. The older one learns from them. 

The younger one just learns that.. She is now one year old and the process for this one to go to school has started. One minute she is a baby the next a kid.. Like the one in the al mattemont school, no one will care if she decides to work or not and therefore she might as well go to school.. But this one.. 

Like the one in the al mattemont school and the one who lives in a village, this one needs someone to take care of her.. At least until she has a mind of her own and develops an understanding that she can make a choice.. 

As in the case of the Al mattemont school.. And unlike the one who lives in a village.. This one also requires some kind of protection because she has no one who can stop the kind of abuse that is heaped on her by her own, from her own or anyone else.

Not even her parents. Today it would be easy to see the one who lives in a village and the one who lives in the village as different.. But then it was exactly the same years back.. The one who lived in the village was different and not many people had an inkling of the kind of abuse that she was put through.. 

The day she found her voice.. Was the day she started speaking out, protesting and calling a spade.. A spade. I came across this article today and i thought to myself this needs to be spread on a wider scale. It has had a great impact on me.. It has made me ask the question who's duty is it to protect these kids? 

Who is it who decides that one is worth protecting more than the other? Is it really necessary to build a fear of others when all that they really need is protection from us? There is also the tendency to disregard the reports of child labour in other countries as being carried out in third world countries.. 

And by that not recognizing that it is practiced in second world countries as well. Even the children that you see working in the field in the above picture will be at work for a few hours a day, before and after school, while they are in school itself and if their families are forced to go to work, then they might work in the fields after school hours too.. 

Here is an article that talks about a group of young indian kids taking on the milk industry and their campaign is called give us our freedom.. What an inspiration!!

Thanks!
