India has the distinction of employing the large number of working
children in the world. The problem of child labour not only
persists but also perpetuates in the unorganized sector /industries
in India. Therefore ILO and government of India have recognized
this problem as a harsh reality. To them it is neither possible nor
feasible to stop the menace altogethe under the existing
socio-economic conditions. Millions of children across the country
are missing the joys of child hood as poverty, hunger; deprivation
and unemployment of their parents force them into adult roles. The
book is the study of the lives of these little ones whose little
hands and nimble fingers are constantly engaged in carpet weaving
industry of Kashmir. To give comprehensive view about the problem
of working children an effort has been made here to elicit opinion
of parents and employers also. The book will be useful not only
those who are interested in the study and understanding of child
labour, but also may be helpful to research scholars, academicians,
social workers and others interested in studying the growing
problem of child labour.
