Rest Of My Family

#ontheroadagain

‘I lost everything because of that crop: my farm, my life, my daughter’
‘Don’t mourn my death. Don’t observe any rituals. Save the money, and send my siblings to school’
‘If it doesn’t rain this year, what you see will turn into barren lands. Nothing will be spared’
‘It is our death that catches your attention. Our lives are worthless…”
“You don’t have a husband. You don’t have any children. What’s the point of giving you a house?”
“After many years, a girl was born in the family…”
‘Men leave their wives as they please. Sometimes, they need a younger woman. Sometimes, they need someone to bear them sons…’
‘When you tell our story, tell them what you saw. Tell them we are good people. Tell them the truth…’
‘The government built them structures not homes…’
‘We couldn’t touch their borewell. Because we are Lambani’
