Through the story of the bangle makers of Firozabad, the author expresses concern over their exploitation in the hazardous job of bangle making and addresses the circumstances which keep the workers in poverty. They live in stinking lanes, choked with garbage in homes. Their houses are hovels with families of humans and animals coexisting in a primeval state. They cannot organise themselves into cooperatives. Their families are caught in a web of poverty and in a vicious circle of the sahukars, the middlemen, the keepers of law, the policemen, the bureaucrats and the politicians who impose on them a baggage which they cannot put down. They move in a spiral from poverty, to apathy, to greed and to injustice.
