VYASK SOCH: A short story by Dr. Anju Dua Gemini MATURE THINKING; English version by Rajni Chhabra
MATURE THINKING
********************
Through a raid, in a factory, police managed to liberate plenty of child-labourers.
Inspector Sahib asked a kid
" Now where will you move? Will you go back to your parents in your native village?"
" Saab, what will we do after getting back to village? Our parents only had sent us here for earning bread. We will search for some other job; we have to make provisions for family, Saab? You--you will manage to get some petty job for us? Saab, please respond." Childhood demanded in tone of an adult, from police Inspector.
The man in uniform failed to respond.
