The winter has set in Kuwait. But it’s a welcome feeling with the members of Seva Darshan actively participating in various programmes across Kuwait. The spiritual gatherings have brought great mental happiness to one and all. Members are actively involved in conducting programmes is a well-disciplined fashion and also the preparations for our upcoming youth camp in January is in full swing.

While we are often asked of the necessity of such programmes in a land far away from our mother country, we would like to remind our readers that these are activities that keep us close to our culture and always keeps alive the sense of oneness to our nation while we work and earn far away from our near and dear ones. Possibly this is why we are deeply involved and affected by the happening in our nation daily. This month has been an extremely important one as far as political observers are concerned. The recent elections results have shown the people’s determination in uprooting corrupt governments and at the same time retaining their confidence in government’s that have stood for development of their respective states. The results have also brought to the forefront new political establishments that have won on the platform of anti-corruption and new

ideas. This shows hope in the process of democracy in a country like India where dynasty, religion and caste has often played an important role. The power of young generation is been felt across the nation and major political parties are now redefining their agendas. The people of India must be vigilant in exercising their rights as often their judgment can be clouded by new energetic forces that could also be simply a reaction to the bigger issue of a nation in distress. At testing times like these more seasoned and rational political thoughts that have stood the test of time would be a better choice.

At the same time, efforts to unite the nation like the building of the Sardar Vallabhai Patel statue with contribution from thousands of farmers from across the nation must be applauded. Our readers will be reminded of the gigantic effort done to raise funds for the Vivekananda memorial rock which today stands as a symbol of unity for our nation. While we face tremendous pressure in securing our borders and from forces within the country, bent on destabilizing our nation, we must not be seen as a weak country. The world today is in need of a strong India that can pave way for peace and stability across the globe. Being a nation with enormous military power, scientific advancements, we are still being treated as a developing third world nation. Our diplomats are being treated in a manner not befitting the spirit of protocol that exists between nations. At the same time, we as Indians, must be ready to follow the laws of the land we live in.

The need is for a social change rather than new laws to enforce a change. New laws will simply lower statistical figures but not the mentality of the society that is making certain people resort to physical and psychological violence. Effective steps must be taken to educate the society starting from homes. Respect of laws and other human beings must be part of our character engineering. The larger arguments of who make these laws and the need to follow other people are matter of debate that will not help solve our current issues.

Here comes the importance of taking steps that will ensure that the next generation is brought up in the right environment that respects our nation, its culture and heritage. Proper education must also be coupled with training from a very young age that will ensure that the youngster’s choice of his future will certainly have vision of stronger nation and society that he can live in peacefully. The current negative aura of despair that we see in our country and our young generation is only a passing phase. We must be the catalyst to ignite that spark in their minds..

Recent events has forced us to take a look at why we Indians have a defeatist attitude when it comes to situations, where we as a Nation have to take important decisions that can change our future. Basically, it has been always about a complete non awareness of our history and why we have always been a proud nation with a glorious civilization.

History always talks of the winners. And so our history has been rewritten so many times that we ourselves are not aware of the truth. Our history has been ridiculed and compared with half known information and assumptions. Our educational system has been tampered with to such an extent that lessons that would otherwise raise our patriotic feeling and drive our nationalistic perspectives have been completely erased. Great freedom fighters have been projected as criminals and others have one paragraph references in a few chapters.

One of the main ideas talked about our civilization is of the Aryan invasion theory. India is supposed to have been invaded and occupied by white Aryans from central Europe at about 1500BC. They are supposed to have defeated the dark skinned Dravidians who were driven down south.

One of the main reasons for this theory is the mismatch of the archeological evidence of the Indus Valley civilization and that of the biblical chronology of the world being formed at 4000BC. But western scholars are yet to establish how these primitive nomads have not been to establish an advanced civilization like the Indus valley civilization elsewhere on their journey to Bharat.

The argument is based on finding that there were such invasions that affected the Middle East during the second millennium and those nomads with horses and chariots with weapons had attacked the civilization existent in Bharat at that time. However no evidence has so far been

able to prove this theory. But later discoveries have proved that the chariots were not new to the Indus valley. It was also proven that domesticated cattle like horses and cows have been part of the Indus culture. It would also be highly improbable that the nomads would have used chariots to cross the mountains and deserts of the Middle East and today’s Afghanistan. The logic being that chariots would have been used on flat lands.

Our Vedas have specific references to metals in different forms and colours. These suggest that metals like iron or copper may not have been new to our civilization. New findings of cities like Dwaraka have opened up a lost link to the Vedic era and have proven a continuation of civilization much earlier to the so called invasion. New age archeologists, often with less knowledge of the religious scriptures, tend to classify findings and bring about their own theory to substantiate the invasion theory.

They use the interpretation of fight between light and darkness to show that light skinned men attacked Bharat and drove away the dark skinned people, but, similar examples in other civilsations like the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations are not interpreted thus.

In short we don’t have any proper evidence showing an invasion but the very continuation of the same people who called themselves Aryans. The texts from the Vedic era mention the river Saraswathi and the Indus valley culture is supposed to very close to the banks of this river. As per chronology of the arrival of the so called invaders, the Saraswathi River would have already dried up and caused the end of the Indus Valley civilization before the invasion took place even. Then how could the Aryans establish their culture on the bank of this river?

Modern archeologists have also brought forward

Debunking the Aryan Myth

CulturalkmwkvImcnIw

Krishna Kumar Paliath


evidences like painted pottery to show that these were not associated with the Vedic culture and was brought from outside. Infact, they are evidence of a changing cultural advancement that took place in the region. Even studies in the Middle Eastern areas indicate worship gods like Surya, Maruti and Himlaya. They have even got evidence of texts written in Sanskrit dating back to much before the so called Aryan invasion of the Middle East. Many seals with close resemblance to the Indus Valley civilization have also been found in the ruins around this area.

In short the western world has begun to reject the Aryan invasion theory or any other theory for the origin of the Hindu civilization. The BBC recently ran a story rejecting the theory completely and pin pointing the various flaws to the theory. There is absolutely no mention in the Vedic texts of nomads and their culture in the east of the great invasion of the Indus lands.

The westerners can never accept the fact that the Vedas were from a pre-Indus period as this would make ancient India the oldest and largest civilization which would have led to the formation and development of many ancient cultures as we know it now. This would mean that the oldest literary record the Vedas at 1500BC would be even older than this date by about 1000 years. This would mean that the Indo-Europeans and other tribes migrated from India and not the other way around.

The theory was basically propounded to divide the Indians into Aryan and Dravidian cultures which then became hostile to each other. Till today this is one of the reasons for the social unrest between different communities in India. The British claim they were only doing what our ancestors did before while invading a land. By pushing the date of the Vedas they wished to prove that the Vedas were written possibly by Middle Eastern cultures thus bringing the proximity to the Middle Eastern religions more closely. This would also validate many scientific finding of the East

as more authentic than those of the Vedic era. The theory also discredits the genealogy of great kings and warriors. It discredits all Hindu traditions and scriptures, turning the Mahabharata into a story of petty fights.

This served a social, political and economic purpose of domination. It proved the superiority of Western culture and religion. It made the Hindus feel that their culture was not the great thing that their sages and ancestors had said it was. It made Hindus feel ashamed that the basis of their culture was neither historical nor scientific. It made them feel that the main line of civilization was developed first in the Middle East and then in Europe and that the culture of India was peripheral and secondary to the real development of world culture.

We may take many more years to find out the exact truth of our Vedic Heritage. It may be possible that the truth may never be known. But we as a nation are following what the British laid down for the mere sake of political and religious prejudice. Many Indian scholars like Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Sri Aurobindo have rejected this theory. But it should have been rejected and taken out of our learning process by the society on the whole. Our universities and schools still use books written by western historians and even use translations of our Vedic literature by westerners which often denigrate our own culture and country. The modern Western academic world is sensitive to criticisms of cultural and social biases. For scholars to take a stand against this biased interpretation of the Vedas would indeed cause a re-examination of many of these historical ideas.

We should not allow false interpretations our culture and history in the name of tolerance.

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (October 31, 1875 - December 15, 1950)

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel the iron-man of India was born on 31st October, 1875, in a small village in Nadiad. His father Jhaverbhai Patel was a simple farmer and mother Laad Bai was a simple lady. From his childhood itself, Patel was a very hard-working individual. He used to help his fa-ther in farming and studied in a school at N. K. High school, Petlad. He passed his high-school examination in 1896. Throughout school he was a very wise and intelligent student. Inspite of poor financial conditions his father decided to send him to college but Vallabhbhai refused. Around three years he stayed at home, worked hard and prepared for the District Leader's examination, hence pass-ing with very good percentage.

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is a historical figure who moves you to tears. Mostly these are tears of joy, for he achieved a thrilling Indian unity. Yet some are tears of pity, for the Sardar suffered and sacrificed much. Sardar Patel hated to work for anyone especially the Britishers. He was a person of independent nature. He started his own practice of law in a place called Godhara. Soon the prac-tice flourished. He saved money, made financial ar-rangement for the entire family. He got married to

Jhaberaba. In 1904, he got a baby daughter Mani-ben, and in 1905 his son Dahya was born. He sent his elder brother to England for higher studies in law. In 1908, Vitthabhai returned as barrister and started practising in Bombay. In 1909 his wife be-came seriously ill and was taken to Bombay for treatment Vallabhbhai had to go for the hearing of an urgent case and his wife died. He was stunned. He admitted his children in St. Mary's school Bom-bay, and he left for England. He became a barrister and retuned to India in 1913.

He started his practice in Ahmedabad and soon he became aware of the local life, activities and people's problems. He became an extremely popular person and he got elected in the Munici-pal Corportaion in 1917. Around 1915, he came across Mahatma Gandhi. The Swadeshi Move-ment was at its peak. Gandhiji gave a lecture at a place in Ahmedabad where Patel heard him and was very impressed and started actively participat-ing in the freedom movement. The British govern-ment's atrocities were increasing. The government declared to confiscate all the lands of farmers. He forced the British government to amend the rules. He brought together the farmers and encouraged them and hence got the title of 'Sardar' and thus became famous.

The British government considered him as a

threat and his lectures were considered anti-gov-ernment and he was imprisoned several times. In 1942, he took part in the Quit India Movement under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. He was arrested along with other leaders and was sent to Ahmednagar jail. Inspite of the British Rule, rul-ers of the small kingdoms were spending a lot of public money, and were having a nice time. Sardar Vallabh Bhai opposed this.

Sardar Patel with great wisdom and political foresight, he consolidated the small kingdoms. The public was with him. He tackled the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Nawab of Junagarh who in-tially did not want to join India. There were a lot of problems connected with the reunion of the nu-merous states into India. Sardar Patel's untiring ef-forts towards the unity of the country brought suc-

cess. Due to the achievement of this massive task, Sardar Patel got the title of 'Iron Man'. ' He is one of the prestigious leaders of the world who became immmortal by uniting a scattered nation without any bloodshed. His enthusiasm to work for the independent nation got a big jolt when Gandhiji was murdered. Patel was very attached to Gandhiji and considered him, his elder brother and teacher. He was encouraged by Mahatma Gandhi in all his work. Gandhiji's death left him broken. On 15th December, 1950 he died of a cardiac arrest. The news of his death spread all over the world. The en-tire nation plunged into deep sorrow, life came to a standstill. A grateful nation paid a tearful homage to it's beloved leader. In 1991 the grateful nation conferred upon him the honour of Bharat Ratna.

There is a legend about a magic tree, kalpa-taru, that fulfills all wishes. Indian civilization is this tree of riches and wisdom. Kings and emper-ors sought to conquer India for its material wealth; the campaign of Alexander, the unceasing attacks of the Turks, the voyage of Columbus, the British empire—these had India as the focus. Indian sages, philosophers and mystics have held out a shining vision that has appealed to the world. Even Alexan-der took Indian yogis back to Greece with him. In-dian thought influenced not only China and South-east Asia, it may also have provided key impulses to Western thought. We find the Indic people in West Asia in the second millennium BC in the Kas-site kingdom of Babylon and the Mitannis of Syria. The father of the famous Queen Kiya of Egypt was the Mitanni king Tushratha (or Dasharatha). The Indic element has been seen in the beginnings of Greek art. It is quite conceivable that the religious traditions of West Asia preserve a remembrance of their Indic past.The modern mind was shaped after adoption by the West of the twin beliefs of living in harmony with nature and search for a sci-entific basis to reality. In the past 300 years, these ideas of universality and a quest for knowledge have transformed European and American society. Many of the greatest writers and scientists of the past 100 years have taken inspiration from these Indic ideas.Erwin Schrödinger

Perhaps the most remarkable intellectual achievement of the twentieth century was quantum theory, which is at the basis of our understanding of chemistry, biology, and physics and, consequently, it is at the basis of the century’s astonishing tech-nological advances. One of the two creators of this theory was Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961). In an autobiographical essay, he explains that his discov-ery of quantum mechanics was an attempt to give

form to central ideas of Vedanta which, in this in-direct sense, has played a role in the birth of the subject. In 1925, before his revolutionary theory was complete,erwin Schrödinger wrote:

This life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of this entire existence,but in a certain sense the whole; only this whole is not so constituted that it can be surveyed in one single glance. This, as we know, is what the Brahmins express in that sacred, mystic formula which is yet really so simple and so clear: tat tvam asi, this is you. Or, again, in such words as “I am in the east and the west, I am above and below, I am this en-tire world.”

Schrödinger’s influential What is Life? (1944) also used Vedic ideas. The book became instantly famous although it was criticized by some for its emphasis on Indian ideas. Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of the DNA code, credited this book for key insights that led him to his revolutionary dis-covery. According to his biographer Walter Moore, there is a clear continuity between Schrödinger’s understanding of Vedanta and his research: The unity and continuity of Vedanta are reflected in the unity and continuity of wave mechanics. In 1925, the world view of physics was a model of a great machine composed of separable interacting mate-rial particles.

During the next few years, Schrödinger and Heisenberg and their followers created a universe based on superimposed inseparable waves of prob-ability amplitudes. This new view would be en-tirely consistent with the Vedantic concept of All in One. He became a Vedantist, a Hindu, as a result of his studies in his search for truth. Schrödinger kept a copy of the Hindu scriptures at his bedside. He read books on Vedas, yoga, and Sankhya phi-

losophy and he reworked them into his own words, and ultimately came to believe them. The Upa-nishads and the Bhagavadgita were his favourite scriptures.

According to his biographer Moore, “His sys-tem—or that of the Upanishads— is delightful and consistent: the self and the world are one and they are all. He rejected traditional western religious beliefs (Jewish, Christian, and Islamic) not on the basis of any reasoned argument, nor even with an expression of emotional antipathy, for he loved to use religious expressions and metaphors, but sim-ply by saying that they are naive.” Schrödinger was a professor at several universities in Europe. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1933. During the Hitler era he was dismissed from his position for his opposition to the Nazi ideas and he fled to England. For some years he was in Ireland, but af-ter the conclusion of the World War II he returned to Vienna where he died in 1961.

Quantum mechanics goes beyond ordinary log-ic. According to it reality is a superposition of all possibilities which is very different from classical physics. It is quantum mechanics which explains the mysteries of chemical reactions and of

life. In recent years, it has been suggested that the secrets of consciousness have a quantum basis. In a famous essay on determinism and free will, Schrödinger expressed very clearly the sense that consciousness is a unity, arguing that this

“insight is not new From the early great Upani-shads the recognition Atman = Brahman (the per-sonal self equals the omnipresent, all-comprehend-ing eternal self) was in Indian thought considered, far from being blasphemous, to represent the quin-tessence of deepest insight into the happenings of the world. The striving of all the scholars of Ve-danta was, after having learnt to pronounce with their lips, really to assimilate in their minds this grandest of all thoughts.”

He thought the idea of pluralization of con-sciousness and the notion of many souls to be na-ive. He considered the notion of plurality to be a result of deception (maya): “the same illusion is produced by a gallery of mirrors, and in the same way Gaurisankar and Mt. Everest turned out to be the same peak seen from different valleys.”

Schrödinger was a very complex person. But he had a sense of humor and paradox. He called his dog Atman. Perhaps he did this to honour Yu-

dhishthira whose own dog, an incarnation of cos-mic justice (Dharma), accompanied him on his last march to the Himalayas. More likely, he was call-ing attention to the unity that pervades the web of life.Erwin Schrödinger Quotes

‘The unity and continuity of Vedanta are reflect-ed in the unity and continuity of wave mechanics. In 1925, the world view of physics was a model of a great machine composed of separable interact-ing material particles. During the next few years, Schrodinger and Heisenberg and their followers created a universe based on super imposed insepa-rable waves of probability amplitudes. This new view would be entirely consistent with the Vedantic concept of All in One’

‘Vedanta teaches that consciousness is singular, all happenings are played out in one universal con-sciousness and there is no multiplicity of selves.’

‘Nirvana is a state of pure blissful knowledge.. It has nothing to do with individual. The ego or its separation is an illusion. The goal of man is to pre-serve his Karma and to develop it further – when man dies his karma lives and creates for itself an-other carrier.’

‘There is no kind of framework within which we can find consciousness in the plural; this is simply something we construct because of the temporal plurality of individuals, but it is a false construc-tion….The only solution to this conflict insofar as any is available to us at all lies in the ancient wis-dom of the Upanishad.’

‘The multiplicity is only apparent. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads. And not of the Upani-shads only. The mystical experience of the union with God regularly leads to this view, unless strong prejudices stand in the West.’

‘After the conversations about Indian philoso-phy, some of the ideas of Quantum Physics that had seemed so crazy suddenly made much more sense.’

“Some blood transfusion from the East to the West” to save Western science from spiritual ane-mia.”

Organ donation is the most selfless act where even after departure from this world one continues to exist in some form in someone else. We came without having any belongings and we go without taking anything we acquired in your life time,then why you want to take your organs to heaven, which is not needed there as mentioned in all religious books including holy bible.

Tissue and organ transplants report a great vic-tory for medical science and certainly hope for many patients who are suffering from end stage or-gan failures especially liver,kidney and heart.The scarcity of organs are indeed a biggest hurdle in transplantation program because the demand out-number the availability in a big way.

Organ donations are of two types. It is possible to donate organs alive and it is called as live dona-tion. Living donors can donate blood, bone mar-row, one Kidney, a part of the Liver.But in brain dead donor almost all organs can be utilised and will give fresh lease of life atleast to eight people. As per the Transplantation of Human Organs Act 1994 , only first degree relatives (Parents, Chil-dren, Grand parents, Grand Children, Siblings and Spouse) are allowed to be Live Donors

Live unrelated organ donation is also possible In the event of there being no first relative ,provided you get approval from an authorisation committee constituted by the government. and someone other than Only on being granted permission from this government committee could undertake unrelated transplants this is to prevent organ trade and traf-ficking and govt has imposed stringent punishment for violation of transplant rules.

Deceased Donations can be classified into two. They are Brain Death and Cardiac/Natural Death. When a person suffers a Cardiac death, the heart stops beating. In India we do only brain dead do-nations and not donation after cardiac death except retrieval of corneas(eye) and rarely heart valves.Brain Death

Brain death is defined as irreversible loss of function of brain including loss of brain stem func-tional activity that means a person cannot breath or have any bodily movements. Brain death usually

results from a severe brain injury or brain haemor-rhage. This can happen after a major road accident or a bleeding in the brain due to stroke. Brain death is different from being in a Coma, or in a Persistent vegetative state, in brain death there is no possibil-ity of recovery, and the patient is clinically and legally dead.

To certify brain death, four doctors should sign the legal certificate.They include the medical prac-titioner incharge of the hospital, a medical practi-tioner and a neurologist nominated bythe hospital and approved by the appropriate government au-thority, and the medical practitioner treating the patient The doctors should carry out the first and second med-ical examinations with a time gap of a minimum of 6 hr be-tween the two examinations before brain death is confirmed.Consent

The first degree relatives of the brain dead pa-tient has to give the consent for organ retrieval in the presence of two witnesses in the prescribed form .Regarding consent different countries have different approaches ,some countries practise man-dated choice. Under this strategy, every citizen would have to indicate their wishes regarding or-gan transplantation,perhaps on income tax forms or drivers licenses. When a person dies, the hospi-tal must comply with their written wishes regard-less of what their family may want.The positive aspect of this strategy is that it strongly enforces the concept ofindividual autonomy of the organ donor.A mandated choice policy would require an enormous level of trust in the medical system. People must be able to trust their health care pro-viders to care for them no matter what their organ donation wishes.Some European countries practise presumed consent for increasing organ donation. In countries with presumed consent, their citizens’ organs are taken after they die, unless a person spe-cifically requests to not donate while still living.Advocates of a presumed consent approach might say that it is everyperson’s civic duty to donate their organs once they no longer need them (i.e.

after death) to those who do. People against pre-sumed consent would argue that toimplement this policy, the general public would have to be educat-ed and well-informed about organ donation, which would be difficult to adequately achieve.Doubters of the presumed consent approach might also argue thatrequiring people to opt out of donating their organs requires them to take actionand this might unfairly burden some people. In India we practise a system called required request.We have to ask for the consent of the relatives(legal possessor of the body) to retrieve organs for transplantation.Process of organ retrieval

The organs have to be retrieved soon after the second brain death declaration because after brain death somatic death (cardiac arrest) can occur at any time making retrieval of organs impossible. The process may take between 3-9 hours. There is no cost borne by the Donor or his/her family. The hospital takes care of all the logistics and details as the transplant coordination team carries out the entire process till the relatives receive the body of the deceased. The deceased body is given back to the family in a dignified way. There is no disfig-urement. The body can be viewed as in any case of death and funeral arrangements need not be de-layed or changed.

Each country has specific protocol for organ do-nation. It would be feasible if the individuals know about the residing country’s protocol for organ do-nation Donor Card

By signing donor card you are just expressing your wish of organ donation in the event of your brain death but it doesn’t imply that your organs will be retrieved when your admitted in a brain dead state.As mentioned earlier hospital authority have to get consent from the relatives for organ re-trieval.

The medicolegal procedures in cases of accident victims follows the same procedures of inquest and post-mortem as in any other case.

Mrithasanjeeavani For promoting deceased donation in Kerala ,Govt

of Kerala launched “MRITHASANJEEAVANI” –life after death program.Prof.Ramdas Pisharody ,The Principal Govt Medical College was appoint-ed as Convenor and myself as Nodal Officer for the implementation of the program. Policies need

to be aimed at both increasing organ donations as well as creating a system that allocates them in the fairest ways possible.With this objective in mind we conduct awareness program,maintain an online registry for wait listing the recipients and moni-tor all the transplant related activitees of transplant centres.

Being a human being we all have a chance to give others hope and love. Organ donation is one of the noblest things that you can do after taking the last breath of your life. Many generous and re-sponsible human beings have made a great deci-sion to donate their organs after death. It has given hope and life to people who were in great agony.Only people with true self respect can understand the pain of the fellow beings. Taking initiative to support a good cause will generate you as a model for the society. Sail with freedom to heaven with-out taking any regrets. Let you take the pride and fall in the hands of God. Be an insightful individual and open your heart and eyes towards people who are waiting for a second chance in their life. If you never utilize your opportunity to donate your organs, you may not lose anything but some of the people will lose their babies, children, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends, spouses, aunts, uncles, colleagues, good leaders, young adults…..(list is infinite) who are waiting to get a second chance to breathe. Share your organs and let your life, light a life. Wiping off the sorrow and filling compassion in others is a righteous accomplish-ment. Time will not wait for any one. Take right decisions at right time inform your family about your consent for donating you organs. Convince them and spread the message.

We parents gave serious concern about our new generation kids like they being spend less time in nature than what we ourselves did during our childhood days. We blame disappearing access to natural areas, distraction from television, per-sonnel gadgets and computers, more homework, and lack of resources and most importantly the time factor. This also leads to rapid increase in childhood obesity that the current generation of children faces. When modern parents thinks that these are the challenges which we need to ad-dress with, we should also look at the other side of our society where we got a section of weaker class. The financial weakness of these section leads their kids to child labour. There is also a parent and child in them.

Each child is a hidden gem and we need to in-vest to develop and explore to make them shine better. A ban on child labour has come into ef-fect but the law does not hold much hope for the millions of children toiling day and night for a pit end. Life for them is still a struggle. The rea-son for that is still the financial weakness of their parents and proper support and guidance from the society.

Child labour is a curse to our society and a crime against humanity. Children work when they are supposed to go to school or play. The sad thing is that they work under hazardous condi-

tions. Though acute poverty is the main cause for child labour throughout the world, everybody- society, parents, governments, individuals, low wages, unemployment, poor standard of living, deep social prejudices and backwardness are di-rectly responsible for child labour in India.

Child labour, although more prevalent in de-veloping countries, is definitely a universal phe-nomenon. According to the World Labour Report, child labour is considered as “forced labour” because children are rarely in a position to give free consent to any activities performed by them. While poverty persists in India, child labour can-not perhaps be totally removed.

The Government alone cannot deal with such an issue and a change in attitude is needed to eliminate or reduce this menace. Instead of blam-ing the Government and society, each parent can play a vital role by starting sponsoring a child to an extent which he can. This can include helping in books, food, schools fee etc.

While managing with all our challenges we have to tackle, a new effort and fresh thinking should start from us which in turn leads to eradi-cate child labour and discover the gem in them.
