Abstract

Elderly Kamunabai Markam is bent over a puddle of water in the hot afternoon sun washing lotus roots she has collected after a day of backbreaking work. “Where are you going to take me?” she asks as a Down To Earth photographer clicks her picture. “To jail? I am all right with it if you give me my meals, so don’t try to scare me.” About a dozen men and women working nearby murmur their support.
