Which Mask?



Here’s our Indian Society,
PC: Me of course :P
so many faces, mostly masqueraded
it’s all just a game of thrones
where power manages to succeed
squashing those who challenge
the ‘accepted’ ways of rule,

This power comes in many forms;
viewing people in bondage, enslaved
by the hegemony of caste, class
gender and money

We all are an accomplice to
this injustice in subtle or blatant
mannerisms, subjecting our prejudices
against those we consider weak,                                       
So it’s time for you to look carefully,
In this game of power which

Face belongs to you?

There are so many of us who unknowingly contribute to child labor without realizing the consequences it could have on a child's future. This reality is all around us and I'am amazed at the blatant way in which we ignore it particularly when we see children being employed as domestic workers or children  working in dhabas, restaurants, road side shops. During my field work experience, in Bangalore I came across a case, wherein a young girl was hired as a maid in one of the houses in BTM layout from an agency which was dealing in giving employment to domestic workers. This little girl who was about 13 years old had eloped from her village in Andhra Pradesh and was later taken in by traffickers who were majorly dealing with 'selli...
