what was the condition of children in India society around 200 year ago​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Children's rights are the human rights with particular attention to the rights of special

protection and care, including their right to association with both biological parents, human

identity as well as the basic needs for food, universal state-paid education, health care and

criminal laws appropriate for the age and development of the child. Interpretations of

children's rights range from allowing children the capacity for autonomous action to the

enforcement of children being physically, mentally and emotionally free from abuse, though

what constitutes "abuse" is a matter of debate. "A child is any human being below the age

of eighteen years, unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier.

The history of Hebrews, Greeks and Romans, whose cultures had a great impact upon the

Western society, bears testimony to the fact that children, by and large, were taken for

granted by their parents and the patriarchal society at large. The resultant effect of all this

was that they were treated as objects of intervention rather than as legal subjects in their

own right. Many labelled them as a ‘problem population’ whereas others reduced them to

being seen as property and thus treated them as non-entities.

Ancient Greeks left girls and children born with disabilities on the wild hillsides, where

exposure or animals were sure to kill them and the practice was continued routinely in Rome

until Christianity became the State religion. The killing of unwanted children may have

become less common in the centuries since then, but it never completely disappeared.
