Give an account of the background of saheb and the army of barefoot boys 'scrounging for gold' in the garbage dumps.
Answers
Answer:
Sahib and the army of rag-pickers lead quite a miserable life. They live in Seemapuri among most unhygienic and unhealthy surroundings. They live in the structures of mud with roods of tin and tarpaulin. There is no sewage, no drainage and no running water in their settlement. They move around picking up rags without shoes. Seemapuri is on the periphery of Delhi yet it is moles away, metaphoric ally. For children garbage is wrapped in ‘wonder’. They may find a rupee, a ten rupee note or even a silver coin. They never stop scrounging. There is always hope of finding more. It is a means of survival for the elderly people.
