Prince Second
Subject: English
, asked on 11/6/17
After months of knowing him, I ask him his name. ''Saheb-e-Alam,'' he announces. He does not know what it means. If he knew its meaning - lord of the universe - he would have a hard time believing it. Unaware of what his name represents, he roams the streets with his friends, an army of barefoot boys who appear like the morning birds and disappear at noon. Over the months, I have come to recognise each of them.

Explain the lines - we would rather live here than in the fields that have us no grain.
EXTRACT:
My acquaintance with the barefoot ragpickers leads me to Seemapuri, a place on the periphery of Delhi, yet miles away from it metaphorically. Those who live here are squatters who came from Bangladesh back in 1971. Saheb's family is among them. Seemapuri was then a wilderness. It still is, but it is no longer empty. In structures of mud, with roofs of tin and tarpaulin, devoid of sewage, drainage or running water, live 10,000 ragpickers. They have lived here for more than thirty years without an identity, without permits, but with ration cards that get their names on the voters' list and enable them to buy grain. Food is more important for survival than an identity. " If at the end of the day, we can feed our families and go to bed without an aching stomach,
we would rather live here than in the fields that gave us no grain
." say a group of women in tattered saris when I ask them why they left their beautiful land of green fields and rivers.
