You've been living down south for a while, and you would know that Rs 150-200 bucks for someone who is 18, maybe even less coming out of his village is serious money in this country. Go a bit deeper into the country and it is even more depressing.
When I traveled to Vidarbha for a story on cotton, I saw families where the main bread winner had killed himself because he had a debt of Rs 10,000. Seriously. Two Hundred dollars, enough to kill yourself for? And why? Because the government gives a lakh of rupees to the family of the deceased. Fuck, thats a joke.
But it happens.
