Dr. P. Soundararajan

Abstract :

Notwithstanding the promulgation of several policies followed by theirratification by International Organizations in addressing the incidenceof child labour, surprisingly, the highest incidence of child labour isfound in Indian Society. On this backdrop this study tries to critically evaluate the question of cultural roots of child labour and labourrelations in Indian tradition which have been rooted in rigid structuralforms and which are now negotiating with new equations in the wake ofthe market economy. Deviating from numerous studies probing into this issue of poverty and economic relations, this paper probes into theinherent contradictions of cultural tradition embedded with the newglobal scenario which opens the possibility of alternative paradigmaticthoughts.
