Photographer's Note
India is the seventh largest and second most populous country in the world. With acceleration in economic growth, India has become one of the fastest growing developing countries. This has created a rift between poor and rich; 22 per cent of the population lives below the income poverty line. Due to unemployment, increasing rural-urban migration, attraction of city life and a lack of political will India now has one largest number of street child in the world.
Street children are subject to malnutrition, hunger, health problems, substance abuse, theft, , harassment by the city police and railway authorities, as well as physical and sexual abuse. Though Government of India has taken some corrective measures and declared child labor as illegal.
SOME THING MORE TO SAY……
· There are more than 100 million street and working children in India.
· They are eking out a grim existence in India's towns and cities.
· Children as young as six have to resort to car washing, begging, carrying luggage, fetching tea or working in small industries to support themselves ... and sometimes their families.
· More than 20% of India’s Gross National Product is produced by children….

This is powerful shot and the notes of photojournalism sensitise the mind of the Indians and the Europeans too.
A power punch to shake the old mindset and set in motion a few to eradicate the menance.
Nice attempt with words!!!

This is a good portrait and like how you show us the kid, with his dishevelled hair.

Stunning composition in the middle of these metallic structures. There is such a contrast between the various textures (metal and body). Very well seen, perfectly executed.

Olα Subir, great portrait with a very effective contrast with the background in a fine non central composition. Splendid details, good interplay with the camera and most of all, an excellent note and message.
Best wishes,

But the attitude and the fresh innoncence of this child is very fascinating.
A real nice picture.
