Welcome to another episode of Where The Chasm Is Bridged, a podcast by Behind The Scenes. 

In this world where poverty runs rampant, children are pushed into the job market faster than they deserve. Following the theme of Child Labor, we have a book today, that captures the realities of Child labor in urban cities. Boys Without Names by Kashmira Sheth, is a fiction written in 2010. She follows the story of eleven-year old Gopal, whose family has recently moved to an urban city. There he gets coerced into working in a factory with extremely low wages and harsh conditions. Gopal uses his fantasies and stories to give the other children hope of escaping. 

All around the world, children are abused to work in factories and other hazardous industries. The main reasons could be because of the financial stress on their families or the huge debt that burdens them. In India, particularly, even though child labor laws do exist, it doesn't lower the numbers in any sense.
