Article- Child of Today Shall Establish Tomorrow

Child of today shall establish tomorrow

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

This man started his journey from the stone age and now he is talking with the skies. He could achieve much in he fields of science and technology and much more is expected from him. What the parents could not do, their children accomplished the same and this process is still going on. The children of today shall be accomplishing our dreams and they shall establish a glorious tomorrow and therefore, we should put in our whole energy on the development of the child who has taken birth in our house and the nation should also take all care for the children because the future of each country depends upon the children of today.

We have failed in so may fields and that is the reason most of us are still illiterate, still poor, still unemployed, still houseless, still weak, still ill and that is the reason we have started depending upon God and praying before Him. We have started that God had created us and therefore, God Himself shall be taking care of us. That is the reason most of us are reciting religious books, visiting religious places and hearing to religious discourses. We are not bothering to follow the principles laid down in religious books and we believe that mere recitation shall serve the purpose. This the present and the man of the future shall be constructing his own fate and shall be writing down his own luck and destiny. The man of the future has taken birth at our house and therefore, we should welcome him or her and must ensure that he is prepared for the challenging future. It is our duty to make sure that the child is getting proper bringing up, he is given proper education, he is given proper training, his career choice is proper and he is adjusted at a proper work from where he should be drawing proper income with which he shall be establishing his family and shall be running the same with satisfaction. The child of today shall need all this and if we fail, it means we are committing a grave crime, sin or a misconduct and the state must take care of people who are not providing all these facilities to the child. The state must compel the parents and if they are unable, the state must take up this responsibility because running day to day administration is not the only duty of the state. It is the duty of the parents and the state that the child of today is prepared will to face the challenges of tomorrow and if they fail, they would not expect a good future for the country as a whole.

The man should go ahead and he most important point from where he should start is the child in his house. If the parents have failed, they must have an introspection on their own failures and then they must try to overcome those weaknesses and if they still fail to correct their own position, they must fulfill their own desires through their children and they must make it sure that their children are provided with all those facilities which prohibited them to achieve the desired goals. What our parents could not do for us, we should do for our children and we must be happy when we have done something for our children because we all know that achievements of children bring happiness to us and we feel proud that we have children who could achieve heights.

It is our duty to make it sure that we bring only such number of children in our house the number we are in a position to maintain. Bringing more and more children may increase the number of people in a particular community or in a particular country, but on the whole such units remain backward because when number of people increases, the facilities decrease and the men are not getting their due share. When we talk about the poverty of people in India, the people come with the answer that the population problem had been the first cause of slow progress. Similar is the conditions in the family and more children means, these children shall not get proper education, proper training and proper adjustment in life. So the parents must think of this situation and they must contain the number within their own limits.

We should try to achieve what we could not through our child and if we so desire and actually work on prescribed plans, we shall succeed because it is in history that man started from stone age and now he is flying in the skies and is talking to the planets which were just in our mythologies. Our child shall fulfill our desires and we should try and this work should start from today without any further waiting period. The families, the countries and the societies who are working on the children shall shine tomorrow.
