discuss the living conditions of the inhabitants of seemapuri and firozabad
Answers
Answer:
Seemapuri in Delhi served as a home to thousands of rag pickers in 1971.
Explanation:
Seemapuri is located in the outskirts of Delhi. Seemapuri was occupied by squatters from Bangladesh in 1971. They are basically refugees from Bangladesh and they involved themselves in rag picking for their survival. These people lived in mud structures with roofs made of tin and tarpaulin. They lived illegally without any identity or permits. The ration cards were provided to them which helped them to buy grains to meet their family needs.
The houses in Seemapuri of the ragpickers and the houses of the bangle-makers of Firozabad are either of mud with tin and tarpaulin roofs. They are with broken wall, no windows, wobbly doors and animals and humans co-existing. The streets at both places are foul smelling and fully unhygienic. The poverty-striken families of Firozabad are compelled to undergo such miseries under the conspiracy of caucus of responsible officers in connivance with the middlemen and the sahukars. Together they impose this illegal baggage of doing hazardous work on the shoulders of the children which they can’t put down.
On one hand there are the families of the migrants, on the other generations old bangle maker families, both are being grounded under poverty and customs continuously. Though these families at both the places are living in hellish situations yet they are shown struggling for survival. Food is more important than their identity or doing anything else. In one case the rag-picker barefoot boys are shown to be completely carefree and they are their own masters. While in the case of the children like Mukesh of the bangle-makers, are shown dreaming to become their own masters.
The nature (storms) rose against the families of the rag-pickers once, and vicious circle of middlemen who trapped the fathers and forefathers of the bangle-makers, are still at work against them. The grinding poverty and the traditions at both the places ‘condemn their’ children to a life of continuous exploitation.
