Since independence India is growing and expanding it economy to global platform and is competing with other developing countries so in developing India Child Labour was never a new phenomenon. Despite of the various attempts taken by Government of India and other national as well as international organisation Child Labour not only continues to exist but is rising to. As entries of Global markets and Marketisation in India has developed Capitalistic approach of people have blatantly ignored the working of children. As Karl Marx in his book “Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts (1844)” have rightly pointed out that Capitalist system was inherently meant to benefit the rich and exploit the poor. Marx identified the four-part economic process, production, distribution, exchange, and consumption, in this way: production creates the object correspond to the given needs which is further equally divided among people then these products are exchanged among them according to their needs which is finally consumed by people .But today Capitalistic society machines have replaced human hands but doesn’t mean human labour has been stopped rather now it is more being exploited and one of its form is Child labour .What Karl Marx with his theory of Alienation told us very earlier that in Capitalist economic system, labourers were dehumanized and exploited and there working of multiple hours every day resulted them being alienated from society, the human race, and the object they produced, is very much prevalent on the present context of child labour prevailing here. Though India is emerging and now small scale industries of town like Mirzapur- Bhadhoi(near Varanasi) have gain global importance one never imagined but Government should also consider this that Growing GDP and FDI is not what development is all about, but what is needed is holistic development of economic, social and political aspect too. Basically my term paper takes a holistic view in understanding this crucial problem related to child exploitation which is being paid as the cost of Production of profit.
