Introduction
Lost Spring is an extract from Anees Jung’s book “Lost Spring: Stories of Stolen Childhood.”
This story highlights the struggle of poor children who are forced to work instead of
enjoying their childhood. It shows the harsh reality of child labour and poverty in India.

Summary
This lesson is about two children: Saheb and Mukesh. Saheb is a ragpicker in Seemapuri,
Delhi, whose family came from Dhaka seeking a better life but remains in poverty. Mukesh
is from Firozabad and works in the glass bangle industry. Both stories show how poverty
robs children of their dreams and childhood, forcing them into hard labour to survive.

Justification of the Title


The title Lost Spring is symbolic. ‘Spring’ means childhood, a time of joy, hope, and growth.
For these children, spring is lost due to poverty and child labour. Their childhood is stolen,
just like springtime that never blossoms.

Theme
The theme of Lost Spring is the exploitation of children due to poverty and social injustice. It
talks about how poor children lose their innocence, education, and future because of child
labour.

Message
The story gives a strong message to stop child labour. It reminds us to help poor children
get education and a better life. The author wants us to become more responsible and aware
so every child can enjoy their childhood.

better future for all children.
