Biography of Kailash Satyarthi
Kailash
Satyarthi was born at Vidisha in Madhya Pradesh on 11th
January,1954. He attended in the Government Boys Secondary School at Vidisha and later
completed Electrical Engineering as well as a post – graduate degree in high-
voltage engineering after that he worked as a lecturer in a college in Bhopal
for a few years. In 1980, he gave up
his job and became the secretary general for the Bonded Labour Liberation Front
.
Kailash Satyarthi received the Nobel
Peace Prize in December, 2014. He is an advocate of Indians children’s rights
and an activist who has fought relentlessly against child labour. It is a wide
spread problem that his driven millions of young children to work in different
areas, instead of attending school and playing. He founded Bachpan Bachao
Andolan in 1980 . He has worked to protect the rights of more than 83,000
children from 144 countries.
Here
are the highlights of Kailash Satyarthy’s speech- He said, “ I represent here
the sound the silence. The cry of innocence….I
have come to share the voices and dreams of our children, our children, because
they all are our children. 20 years ago, in the foothills of the Himalayas, he
met a small skinny boy who asked him if the world was so poor that it could not
give him a toy to play and a book to
read . Kailash Satyarthi emphasized that the main object of his life is that every
child should be free to be a child, free to grow and develop, free to eat,
sleep, see daylight, free to laugh and cry,
free to play, free to learn, free
to go to school ,and above all ,free to dream . He also stressed on the fact
that he refused to accept that all the laws , judges and the police are not able to
protect children. In the age of rapid globalization, there is a lack of
compassion. The children who stitch footballs have never played with one,
children who harvest cocoa ,do not know
the taste of chocolate. They all belong to us. Every single minute
matters and every child matters.’’
I BELIEVE WE SHOULD HELP
NEEDY, ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN, WHEREVER AND WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
We should help anyone in need.
