Childhood is the happiest and innocent time for children. However, there are tens of millions (sometimes called hundreds of millions) of children in India living a life without childhood. Although India has experienced rapid economic development in recent years, Polarization remains serious. The number of child laborers in India ranks first in the world.

The ultimate root cause of the prevalence of child labor in India is "poverty". Because of poverty, parents have to let their children do dirty, tiring and hard work with poor conditions, low pay, and high risk. It is sad that these children under the age of eight are doing heavy work that is beyond their physical capabilities.

The Indian people also seem to be indifferent to the issue of child labor, especially the Indian middle class, which has benefited from economic development and often employs girls as domestic servants. In order to earn more money, older children have to risk their lives and work in quarries.

India also does not have a family planning policy, which results in poor families having many children. Therefore, many children are required by their parents to work and earn money from an early age. Although on July 26, 2016, India's lower house passed a child labor bill, strengthening some penalties and restrictions on the use of child labor. However, many businesses in India still employ child labor. Especially in many large projects, child labor is used more frequently.

During the wedding season in May every year, large-scale children's mass weddings are held in hundreds of places in India. Many parents are planning weddings for their children who are around 10 years old, and some brides are even breastfeeding. In the Marwar region of Rajasthan, mass marriage ceremonies for children are held every April. On this day, Akadi Day, thousands of babies who are still in the arms of their parents hold weddings with dolls from other families. This kind of wedding is just like a normal marriage. After the matchmaker's words and parents' orders, the formal wedding ceremony is finally held. The wedding is the same as the wedding of adults. Children aged 3 or 4 are neatly dressed, wearing necklaces and bracelets, and circle the "holy fire" three times under the guidance of adults. Babies who are not yet able to walk are placed in large metal trays to complete various wedding ceremonies.

There are also many Indian child workers in Nepalese brick factories. At such a young age, even though their bodies cannot support the weight, they keep adding bricks to their heads in order to make more money.
