Question

In a small village in Tanzania, Africa, Mamba gets up very early in the morning to fetch water. She has to walk a long way and returns after a few hours. She then helps her mother in the house and joins her brothers in taking care of their goats. All her family owns is a piece of rocky land around their small hut. Mamba’s father can barely grow some maize and beans on it after toiling hard. This is not enough to feed their family for the whole year. Peter lives in the heart of the sheep rearing region in New Zealand where his family runs a wool processing factory. Every day when he returns from school, Peter watches his uncle taking care of their sheep. Their sheep yard is situated on a wide grassy plain with hills in the far distance. It is managed in a scientific way using the latest technology. Peter’s family also grows vegetables through organic farming. List out the differences observed in the lifestyle of Mamba and Peter. Why such differences are observed? Answer in detail

ANSWER

(i) Dala and Ramkali are landless farm labourers. They work on daily wages in Palampur. This means that they must regularly look for work.

(ii) The minimum wages for a farm labourer set by the government is Rs60 per day, but Dala and Ramkali get only Rs.35−40.

(iii) There is heavy competition for work among the farm labourers in Palampur, so people agree to work for lower wages. Both Dala and Ramkali are among the poorest people in the village.
