Jaspreet, a resilient 10-year-old boy residing in New Delhi, faced the heartbreaking loss of his father due to illness. Adding to his challenges, his mother abandoned him and his younger sister, fleeing to Punjab, leaving them under the care of their uncle. Determined to support his family, Jaspreet took on the responsibility of selling various rolls at a roadside food stall in Tilak Vihar. When questioned about his remarkable courage, he simply replied, “I’m the son of Guru Govind Singh. Till I have strength, I’m going to fight.”
Despite the pressure to financially provide for his family, Jaspreet hasn’t left his studies. He continues his education while running the roadside stall in Delhi. A video of him narrating his story has gone viral on social media. Have a look:
Spend the 1.52 mins and watch this video on 10 year old Jaspreet forced to make egg rolls to support his family. The innocence, the sweetness makes you want to tightly hug him and tell him you are not alone. Can someone locate where he is? pic.twitter.com/NlNB2Ircqr

As his video started widely circulating online, people from various corners of the country began showering support on him. While some wanted to sponsor his education, others wanted to financially support his family. They highlighted how such struggles are robbing the poor boy of his childhood. However, this boy is a proud one and remains unshaken by his struggle. What is wants is for people to respect his job and show up at his stall to increase the sales.
Just spoke to Sarabjeet bhai(the food vlogger who covered it). He is flooded with support from around the world- USA, Canada.
Address: near tilak nagar police station, west delhi

I humbly request NGO or any organisation to come forward and help this child, as he definitely does not deserve this at such a tender age, I am sure we have laws for children in this situation, sad the mother left him and his uncle is letting him do this ?
This is child labour,…— Anuradha Mishra (Modi’s Family) (@Anuradham1805) May 6, 2024
It’s so hard to see strong minded kids in urban society these days. This young man must be going through a lot today, but his future would be extremely powerful. All the best Jaspreet. ?? ??
