Dear Diary:
I am writing to you in a very sad mood today as I saw a poor boy around 9 to 10 yrs old washing dishes at a dhaba where we went for dinner. He served us the food while we ate! I felt so bad! How sad he won’t get the opportunity to go to school like me! Will he remain trapped in the vicious circle of poverty? My father has told me the problem of child labour is quite rampant in all parts of India. Not only millions of children below the age of 14 are working in factories, shops, glass-blowing industry, workshops, etc, they are forced to work in the most unhygienic work conditions. How shameful it is for our country that we cannot guarantee happy childhood for our children! How can our country become prosperous when her children are enslaved in the shackles of child labour? Why does the Government do anything? Why are there not anti-child-labour laws? If they are there, why are they so poorly implemented? I think the first and foremost priority should be eradication of this national problem. Each child forced to work means darker future of India! Unless each child in India is educated and highly skilled, India cannot achieve any prosperity. Dear diary, I pledge I will strive to root out this evil from our country with my thoughts, words, and deeds.
