Innocent Victims of a Commercial Society
It’s the festive season in India. Indians will soon be celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights. But while millions will exchange sweets and gifts, light lamps and lanterns outside their houses and burn fireworks in gay abandon, little would they know that their fun comes at the cost of hundreds of children, manufacturing fireworks in little neighbourhood factories, putting their health and lives at risk. |

First Person -
I was 8 years old and in jail
My name is Bablu* and my earliest memory of life is dancing on the streets of Bombay. My older brother and I would dance and do acrobatic tricks to entertain the crowds and so make a little money to survive. |
