[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1515062316229","data":"So on a casual surf on the internet, I came across Kailash Satyarthi's Wikipedia page which pegged his birthday to be January 11. So here I am hoping stuMagz publishes this article in time because I deeply respect this man and want to be the first to write about him and hopefully get my article featured. <\/p>You see, Kailash Satyarthi is a man on a mission, one who dedicated his life to a cause at a very young age, fighting against injustice at every turn. At a young age when his family and friends organised a high profile dinner for politicians, the young Kailash Sharma (as he was known then) was utterly dismayed when he realised that the politicians had not turned up for dinner because the food was prepared by 'low caste' people. He decided to change his name then and there to Kailash Satyarthi, Kailash the seeker of truth, following this gross injustice and has since then dedicated his life to the cause. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1515063539458","data":"5a4e099f39130"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1515063369970","data":"He went on to champion Children's Rights, mostly because nobody cared enough for them simply due to children not being a vote bank they could exploit, and also established Rugmark that eventually became GoodWeave International, an organisation that sold weaved rugs, except these ones were made without any child labour involved, even becoming Child Labour Free certified. <\/p>Shockingly, however, I hadn't heard of his movement until he jointly shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Malala Yousafzai, another child's education rights activist from Pakistan who was straight up shot in the head but came back stronger and more powerful (girl power!). Satyarthi started a global march movement that shook the world. Started in 1998, it began with an 80,000 km long physical march across 103 countries. Members from over 140 different countries participated in the march. The impact of the movement has been so profound that today, 177 of 185 member countries of the International Labour Organisation have ratified a convention against child labour.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1515063677686","data":"5a4e0a31bd2ed"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1515063679796","data":"There's a lot to learn from this man, so on his birthday I pledge to dedicate myself to social service and take onto my shoulders the responsibility that we all should share: to build a safer and friendlier country for our children so they may reach for the stars. Here's to you, Kailash Satyarthi, happy birthday. <\/p>"}]
