Question

Describe the hardship the unorganized hamals faced

Answer 1

Hardships faced by the unorganized hamals

1. The hamals were the head-loaders in the Pune city. So they had to carry all day, heavy sacks on their backs.

2. They did not have time to eat.

3. They did not own a house or place. So they slept in the market.

4. They were paid inadequately for their heavy work.

Babasaheb Pandurang Adhav was the social worker who organised them into a group called the Hamal panchayat.
