  • Families of coal miners live above fire in Jharia, a small town near Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India. Men, women and young children live on the perimeters of the government coal mines, stealing coal pieces to sell to the coal markets at a small profit. Efforts have been made by the government to relocate these squatter villages to nearby towns but these families would rather live above the burning mines, risking regular ground cave-ins and death by accidental falling into the holes of fire.

  • Families of coal miners live above fire in Jharia, a small town near Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India. Men, women and young children live on the perimeters of the government coal mines, stealing coal pieces to sell to the coal markets at a small profit. Efforts have been made by the government to relocate these squatter villages to nearby towns but these families would rather live above the burning mines, risking regular ground cave-ins and death by accidental falling into the holes of fire.

  • Child Labour in India's Coal Mines:<br />
<br />
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.

  • After transporting coal by foot from dawn to dusk, the young miners spend 4 hours of their evenings burning coal piles, to prepare the coal for sale the next day, on the fringes of the coalmines of Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India. The coal-pickers live in a small coal-picker's hamlet a distance away from a higher-caste hamlet where the children go to school and do not mingle with the lower-caste coal-pickers.
