Child labor (roadside entertainers)
This video clip was taken in summer hot of 40 degree Celsius from the road side of New Delhi, India. The video shows how these children work hard to entertain public for mere 1 cent to 5 cents in busy traffic roads of urban New Delhi.

They perform circus and gymnastic actions in dangerously busy roads during red signal controlling traffic. 

These children claim to have migrated from Madhya Pradesh without anyone¿s support. Their parents too are the entertainers in same field.

The parents are extremely poor that they are unable to support own children.

These children explain in this video that their own native place does not have water, school and source livelihood forced them to come to Delhi the capital of India.

Believe it or not:  Major percentage of the child labor comes from rural villages and indulge in to unorganized activities such as begging, prostitution, street entertainers, pick pockets, rag picking, drug trafficking, and so on.
