My
writings are a reflection of my struggle: Kailash
Satyarthi
New Delhi:
Justice of the Supreme Court, Honorable Ranjan Gogoi released the Nobel peace laureate
Kailash Satyarthi's book, "Every Child Matters" published under the
publication house of Prabhat Prakashan, at Constitution Club of India, Rafi Marg.
The book is
a compilation of columns and interviews which highlight the continuing struggle
to create safe childhoods. Readers will find much to introspect after going
through this collection.
During the launch, Satyarthi said,
“Every
child matters and every word matters, if we want to live with truth, justice,
righteousness and peace. But today children are forced to lose their childhood
and words are made shallow, due to the lack of humanity and compassion. I
always try to use words which can ignite a spark of hope in the darkness of
fear. I write when I am desperate to connect minds and souls for our children.
My articles are the expression of urgency for action and they are reflections
of my struggle. After the book launch the famous journalist Shekar Gupta had a
talk with Kailash Satyarthi on the composition of the book.
On this
auspicious day Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Judge, Supreme Court of India added his
words by saying; “This book has thrown a
very important question. Does every child matter? The answer is yes. It's no
secret that the justice delivery system is begging for a complete overhaul.
Assuming today is the day of judgement, I don’t think we can wait. The sooner
we realize that societal and political will are what it takes to eradicate
child abuse, the sooner our children will be free.”
The book is
launched under the publication house of Prabhat Prakashan, where the Prabhat Kumar, said, “We are proud to have published Kailash Satyarthi’s book. He regulated
the champion who has fought for the cause of child rights all his life.
