Explanation:
In Banaras District there is a village called Bira in which an old, childless
widow used to live. She was a Gond woman named Bhungi and she didn't
own either a scrap of land or a house to live in. Her only source of livelihood
was a parching oven. The village folk customarily have one meal a day of
parched grains, so there was always a crowd around Bhungi's oven.
Whatever grain she was paid for parching she would grind or fry and eat it.
She slept in a corner of the same little shack that sheltered the oven. As soon
as it was light she'd get up and go out to gather dry leaves from all around to
make her fire. She would stack the leaves right next to the oven, and after
twelve, light the fire. But on the days when she had to parch grain for Pandit
Udaybhan Pandey, the owner of the village, she went to bed hungry. She
was obliged to work without pay for Pandit Udaybhan Pandey She also had
to fetch water for his house. And, for this reason, from time to time the oven
was not lit. She lived in the Pandit's village, therefore he had full authority to
make her do any sort of odd job. In his opinion if she received food for
working from him, how could it be considered as work done without pay?
He was doing her a favour, in fact, by letting her live in the village at all
