Child Labour

What has anybody done to eradicate child labour? The child comes to this world. He is born amidst labour. All of my life I have seen the child work; doing a man’s job. Instead of playing and studying, he works like a mule. All his emotions are squashed. It is hard to see, but it is right in front of you. This is the horrendous truth. Nothing is done much for the child, except some bally politician and some damned social worker lecture. There are only a few who care. It is a deplorable situation. Child labour will persist as long as consciousness exists. Things have not been done, that should have been done.

First, and foremost, these people should bring down the population. They should learn to control their sexual fervor. The couple should not bring in more than one child in this world. Second, illiteracy should be stamped out. Everybody should be educated. It is mandatory that all children should go to school. Third, there should be opportunity given to all, to be employed, as the politicians love to say, ‘Right to Work.’ Fourth, poverty should be eliminated. Fifth, religions and superstitions should be pushed inside the carpet. These things do more harm to human and humanity, than good. Blind belief kills a man’s conscience.

But then, who listens? It is exceedingly distressing, exasperating and nauseating to see a child working like an adult instead of playing and studying. Every now and then, I wonder why don’t these married couples, if they have a fancy for more than one child, instead of indulging in pregnancy sex, and consequently bringing a new life on this earth, adopt a child? In future instead of bringing another mouth to feed in this hell, the aphorism should be, “Adopt a Child,” until there are no children to adopt. This maxim can well be adopted by married couples, unmarried couples, single males or females.

Amid Caste barriers, gender barrier, religion barriers, even after 60 years we have not been able to provide clean drinking water to our citizens. People die drinking that filthy water. Just take a look at all the thriving water filter Companies, and you will understand what I mean... I have more often than not asked myself, “Why the heck do you need a water filter? Why can we just open the tap and start drinking?” But the Govt. has other agendas like the nuclear proliferation, space programs, global warming, etc, not that I am not saying these are important, but efforts and will to provide clean drinking water doesn’t seem to be a priority. And we are proud to be Indians.

Religion is oxymoron. It teaches love and causes war. Religion has throughout history, instead of uniting, continued to brutally divide humanity. Looking back during my academic years I am flabbergasted to realize history has attempted to teach us that religion has been the one single greatest source of wars, suffering, misery and pain inflicted on the human specie. More pain, misery and suffering have been meted out in the name of god, than by any other man-made cause. It is not only Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Shintoism but Marxism, Nazism, communism and all forms of terrorism which has contributed to the misery of mankind. People believe in a supernatural, mysterious and miraculous god, a pre-historic god, a central, fundamental god, a cerebral, rational god. Which god do you believe in?

We haven’ learnt much from History.

We have not learnt that it is a difficult thing to predict, let along believe that the world would be a happy place, full of love and peace and prosperity. It is like predicting and believing that the lion will lay down the lamb - and everybody will believe anybody.

The intention of my blurting it out is not to say: ‘You must think in this way.’ The intention is to say: ‘Here is another façade, another aspect of our life. Have you thought of including them in your own World Wide View?
