Shiva a ten-year Hindu boy selling Christmas accessories at traffic signals at the fort in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India on Dec 12th, 2020. Per day 100s of vehicles pass by and such children are often seen at traffic signals, selling balloons or toys.
Shiva came from the village to the city to help his uncle with the financial crisis. Today’s children are the citizens of tomorrow. The whole legacy of the country lies in the youth of today, as they will lead the country tomorrow. To our surprise, we often see small children employed for jobs that are unfit for their age, to get some kind of monetary support to lead life. People from the downtrodden sections of society often let their children go to work to bring in some extra money in the family so that they can make their ends meet. Such children are often seen at traffic signals, selling balloons/toys, or they are found washing cars in garages, working as cleaners in hotels and restaurants, and employed in small-scale industries.
