Foreign Policy has a photo feature on children--young kids, not some 15 year olds--working alongside their parents in New Delhi, where the 2010 Commonwealth Games are scheduled to be held in October and, get this irony, a day after Gandhi's birthday!

This one on the left has the following caption at FP:

When it comes to child labor laws, little headway has been made on enforcement. In fact, some, like the UNICEF-sponsored authors of "What Works for Working Children," have made the argument that child labor is better than the alternatives: no work at all or prostitution. Above, Indian children struggle to shovel rocks in front of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi on Jan. 30.
