Iqbal's Human Rights

Iqbal’s human rights were lost when his parents sent him off to pay a debt. At the age of four Iqbal was placed into a bonded labour program. He was sold off towards a master which took away his freedom, a human right that everyone should have. This affected him negatively as he wasn’t able to do as he wished and held against his will to pay off his parent's debt.  Sent to a carpenter, Iqbal was forced to make expensive carpets for foreigners to buy. Because his hands were small and he worked fast he was forced to create the hardest designs that were set out. He later found out later that his debt never ended and he was going to work forever. His rights were taken away from him because he was sent off to a master to forcibly work. This made Iqbal change for the better as soon after he had started learning about his human rights after he had escaped a carpet factory. Iqbal’s rights were taken away from the moment he was given away. Iqbal’s human rights were taken away from him as a child because of his parents. This is also likely why Iqbal fought to stop child labour and bonded labour.
