Today, I found these two young kids Sunil and Kishan at one of the posh market Cannaught Place, Delhi insisting
to allow them to polish shoes. While talking to them I realized they are the sole
bread earner of their family. It touched me so much, I guess their age is not
more than 9 years and they are forced to sacrifice their childhood in such a pitiable
situation.
While India is one of the fastest growing economies of the
world, and an IT giant that we boast always – we have such scenario exists that
too many kids are forced to work for livelihood at such a young age, creating India
a country with highest number of Child labour in the world. Instead of having books in their hands they
are forced to polish shoes to feed their family members. Think; is it not the dagger of India’s
soul?
