Went to see about my butterfly table. These men are busy polishing my table. They get paid the national minimum wage (about £1/day) plus a bit extra. And there is a pension and disability scheme. The factory owners take holidays in Europe, drive flash cars and spunked about £25 taking me out to a 5* hotel for dinner. It was my birthday, but you have to try really hard to spend that much money on a meal for three in India. And they lied about issuing their workers with masks. What to do?
Moradabad, by the way, is a city of 1 million inhabitants, which appears in no guide books. Funny how prescriptive guide books are.
