Explanation:
Story of Sivaraman
Sivaraman lives in a small village
near Karur town in Tamil Nadu. Karur
is famous for its handloom and
powerloom fabrics. There are a 100
families in the village. Sivaraman an
Aryunthathiyar (cobbler) by caste now
works as an agricultural labourer for
Rs 50 per day. But that’s only for five
to six months in a year. At other
times, he does odd jobs in the town.
His wife Sasikala too works with him.
But she can rarely find work these
days, and even if she does, she’s paid
Rs 25 per day for the same work that
Sivaraman does. There are eight
members in the family. Sivaraman’s
65 year old widowed mother is ill and needs to be helped with her daily
chores. He has a 25-year-old
unmarried sister and four children
aged between 1 year to 16 years.
Three of them are girls, the youngest
is a son. None of the girls go to school.
Buying books and other things for
school-going girls is a luxury he
cannot afford. Also, he has to get them
married at some point of time so he
doesn’t want to spend on their
education now. His mother has lost
interest in life and is just waiting to
die someday. His sister and elder
daughter take care of the household.
Sivaraman plans to send his son to
school when he comes of age. His
unmarried sister does not get along
with his wife. Sasikala finds her a
burden but Sivaraman can’t find a
suitable groom due to lack of money.
Although the family has difficulty in
arranging two meals a day,
Sivaraman manages to buy milk once
in a while, but only for his son.
Inter-State Disparities
Poverty in India also has another aspect
or dimension. The proportion of poor
people is not the same in every state.
