Child Labour

Child labour is the most Horrifying and dangerous practices we are observing in our society.The consequences of child labour are not only effecting mankind physically but also effecting them mentally.

The other day I was watching “Crime Patrol”A program on various crimes occurring  in our society and I was shocked to see the episode of child labour and human trafficking. In our country India where we call “children” as the medium of God are tortured ruthlessely in the name of child labour.

Does our god teaches us such brutal acts?No we the super intelligent and insensitive human beings are the sole cause of such atrocious acts

The innocent and poor children from downtrodden sections of society are misled and kidnapped from their villages and are sold out in big metropolitan cities for the jobs of servants in factories,shops and big housing societies.This is child trafficking and it should be seriously checked out.

These children suffer so many hardships while working in such a small age.They are beaten,abused and their services are misused on the cost of their health .There are various fraud employment agencies set up in big cosmopolitan cities who are engaged in supply of small children in the name of employment.The illiterate and poor people are trapped in their claws and are forced for bonded labour for the lifetime.

There are many children who are forced into prostitution and child abuse at the very tender age.

The Independent India is still the slave of such horrible practices and crimes.As we all know in our constitution every child has the right to get education but children suffering from child labour are deprived of such rights and privileges.They are slogging themselves for earning the basic needs of life.Education and a good happy life is a dream for them.

There is no doubt that we cannot change others destiny but those who are involved in such crimes should atleast made aware of and taught the moral values.The law and order should take strict actions against such malpractices and people involved in it.

If we cannot give better life to such children we have no right to spoil their life.We must discourage child servants in our homes and should try to make others understand to discourage such practices too in our surroundings and nearby vicinities.

There are various Non governmental organisations who are helping such children who are victims of such brutality.Hats off to such organisations and we all must also try our level best to support such efforts by all such organisations.


We must help all the needy children who are victims of child trafficking and child labour by providing  them good educational facilities and basic amenities of life according to our means and sources.

Above all Government must not only frame laws but strictly adhere to it. Anyone following such crimes should be severly punished so that it’s the lesson for others as well.

Is really Hockey our National game

Manav was a sixteen year old teenager. He was typically mad after cricket. His biggest aspiration was to be a cricketer. For that he could do anything. He never used to concentrate on his studies and after returning from school he just used to play cricket, cricket and cricket. His father was very ambitious as well as he saw an intense desire in his son to be a cricketer. He always used to support him whether he was wrong or right. As a result he scored very less marks in his academic session. 

His mother was very worried about him but his father was not bothered of his career in academics, all he wanted was to make him a cricketer. 

There was another boy in their building named Sujoy ,who was also very good in sports. He was a hockey champ of his school but no one used to notice his abilities in fact his parents was against   his playing hockey, instead they used to give them example of Manav who was a cricket champ. 

Sujoy was always discouraged for Hockey and was forced more to work out for cricket.

His parents broke his morale to such an extent that inspite of being a hockey champ he stopped playing hockey and any other sport as well.

Manav who was always appreciated for his cricket related super abilities used to bog down Sujoy by making his fun about playing hockey which according to Manav was such a boring and least important game in India.

Finally   Sujoy quit hockey and joined Manav in his cricket team and was always suppressed by him as his interest was in hockey and he was best in that and not in cricket,resultantly it led into suppressed Sujoy and his aspirations and suppressed National game of India.

This is the mindset in India about its own national game. I am not denying the fact that other sports  also needs importance like our National game and it’s not wrong to be a cricketer or a hockey champ. Everyone has their own choices but yes it’s not right to lift one game up to such a height that the other game is suppressed. Cricket should also be given due recognition but ignoring Hockey and lifting cricket is not fair in our Country.

The neglected feelings towards hockey has not only snatched many of the dreams of best hockey players but also snatched future hockey champs of our country and also a question mark is put up to the dignity of our National game Hockey.

The solution according to normal man like us would have been that Sujoy should not have lost hope instead must have worked so hard into hockey that his parents would have compelled to fulfil his dreams.

 But yes off course when it comes on the matter of name, fame and gain no one can be persuaded to compromise Cricket. We all know the condition has come to such an extent that Cricketers earn more money and fame than the people who are playing our National game and maintaining its dignity.

Finally the ultimate solution is with God who has something in his mind that he is not enlightening up our Country’s interest towards its National game Hockey.

Moral of the story

Parents please do not bog down your children just because cricket is famous, instead encourage them to progress and fulfil their dreams related to hockey.


I am not at all criticising the game cricket   but I am trying to inculcate some sense of respect for our national game as well through this article. Through this article I request the Government to please seriously view the condition of Hockey in our country and make some measures to uplift this game and dreams of many associated with this game.
