MANORATH - We Voice Rights for All Children

About CRY

For over 30 years now, CRY – Child Rights and You has worked on the reasons why children are deprived of rights. Every year, CRY together with 200 partner NGOs across 18 states works to address the root causes of exploitation, deprivation and inadequate livelihood options that constrain the rights of children. This collective action permanently changes the lives of over 6 lakh children in 6700 villages and slums each year, who live learn and grow well. None of these micro-miracles would have been possible without public support – every year, 2 lakh individuals, come together from all walks of life to stand up for their belief in the rights of children.

CRY’s mission is to enable people to take responsibility for the situation of the deprived Indian child. We motivate people to confront the situation through collective action thereby giving children and themselves an opportunity to realize their full potential.

Manorath is one such Volunteers group with CRY which through its endeavors is voicing Rights for all children.

Ye Kaun Sochta hai




"Ye kaun sochta hai ?

Wo bachcha jo karon ke shishe ponchtaa hai
Jo daudtaa hai jabki laal signal ya sipahi sabko rokta hai
Jiske liye ruki hui car ka khulta shisha
Kismat khulne ke samaan hai
Gaadi ponchne par us shishe me se koi chand sikke de de
Jiske dil me bus itna hi armaan hai
Jiski kismat me bus sookhi rotiyaan, fate kapade
Aur ek gandi si basti me tin ka makaan hai
Jiske liye sardi ka kambal aur baarish ki chatari 
Ye khulaa aasmaan hai;
Wo kaise din bhar me apni choti-choti aankhon ke
Bade-bade sapnon ka gala ghontaa hai?
Ye kaun sochtaa hai?

Ye kaun sochtaa hai?
Ki wo bachcha jo sadak kinaare bheekh maang raha hai,
Kisi se car aur kothi to nahi
Sirf pet bharne ko chand sikke maang raha hai
Use bhi koi shauk nahi hai
Haath failane ka
Aur har doosre-teesre aadmi se gaali khane ka
Lekin wo majboor hai
Kyunki uske ma-baap ke paas paise nahi hain
Usme aur tum-me antar bus itna hai
ki uske ma-baap, tumhare ma-baap jaise nahi hain
Tumhare school me jitni fees jaati thi
Utne rupae me to uska baap
Poore pariwar ko paalta-poshta hai
Bharat-uday to wo jaanta nahi
Lekin har surya-uday ke saath
Ek aur din ki roti ka khayaal 
Uska dimaag nochtaa hai
Ye kaun sochta hai?

Ye kaun sochta hai?
Ki Bharat-uday aur ye chamak-damak
Bus kuch unche mahalon ka drishya hai
Desh ki thodi si janata ke liye 
Ikkisavin sadi-Ujjawal bhavisya hai
Baki ka desh
Khud ko in sapnon me kahin tatoltaa hai
Desh ka kya hoga ?
Jab is desh ka yuva chand suvidhaaon ke liye
Khud ko ek andhi daud me jhonkta hai
Par ye kaun sochta hai?
Ye kaun sochta hai?"
