One often hears of the high prevalence of child labour in our country of the many reports I have read, perhaps the most disturbing was a report on the condition of children employed by zari factories in Delhi, Mumbai and other places of India. It grieves to imagine children exposed to such inhumanity. Robbing the children of their childhood is a criminal act , and our society must weed this malaise out from the root. But where does the root lie? Before you attempt to answer, let me give an anecdote from the other end of the social spectrum, A colleague of mine has a child studying in Std Ix in a reputed school in Bangalore. This child wakes up at 5am and studies for an hour before going to school. She returns from school at 4 pm and rushes for her IT entrance exam coaching class.At 6pm she has tuition for 2 hours. After dinner she spends an hour or more on homework. I asked her when she gets time to play. She gets hall an hour free time each day, which she spends watching her favourite serial on television. She also added that board exams and entrance exams are very important and that you get only one chance.
