According to an ABCNews correspondent,
Technically, child labour is illegal in India. But the government lacks will to enforce its own laws.
What a shame!

I agree but then there are more to add to the list. Unfortunately an uprising is not around the corner and fortunately things are changing albeit slowly !!!
I totally loved the slide show!
And on a serious note, can we as people say that we will not use the fireworks that children help manufacture? Why wait for the Govt to take action?

You know something!? Your about me is similar to me!
My son decided not to buy crackers (when he was six) as lot of children are employed in that industry.We have not bought even a small packet of match box since then. Lot of children are employed in dharavi slums to do zardosi work for our most popular designers! My daughter has visited them personally when she was doing her MSW at TISS. People have stopped feeling guilty for the wrongs they do. each one says any way only I can't make a change! We must understand "It takes drops of water to make the Ocean" and each one decide to do what ever they can in a small way! Only then things will change.
Vidya: I would call it a good suggestion. Its been yrs since I bought crackers, anyways.
Latha: At the age of 6, your son has had immaculate maturity. I agree no less; However insignificant, we all need to do whatever little we can.
