What circumstances force Mukesh not to pursue his family business of bangle making ? What did he decided to do?
Answers
Answer:
Mukesh dreams of driving a car and becoming a motor mechanic. Hailing from the family of bangle makers in Firozabad, Mukesh dares to dream of a different life.
For generations, bangle makers of Firozabad have been stuck in dingy rooms with glass furnaces burning at high temperature. Young children like Mukesh are sent by their parents to work here. Slogging in these factories, life, eyesight and imagination are sucked out of these children.
Bangle makers of Firozabad earn just enough to continue investing in the trade of bangle making and being able to build a house is a luxury for them.
Further, these bangle makers are at the mercy of those in power such as middlemen and policemen who haul them as per their wishes.
To escape these circumstances, Mukesh is ready to walk miles in order to learn about cars. Mukesh refuses to let the brightness of his dream be contained by the darkness that surrounds the life of a bangle maker.
