Coal miners refuse to move out of 'Hell on Earth'

Child Labour in India's Coal Mines:

Minor Miners is my ongoing investigation into child labour in Indian coal mines and broader socio-economic realities that force families to use their children as full-time breadwinners doing hard labour. I explore not just the day-to-day conditions of life imposed on India's weakest and most vulnerable, but also the extensive socio-economic institutions that create these dire situations.
