What is Saheb looking for in the garbage dumps? Where is he and where has he come from?

by (510 points)
Saheb is looking for 'gold' in the garbage dumps. He is a ragpiker. Sometimes he finds a rupee, even a ten rupee note in the garbage. He may find a silver coin too. He has always a hope of finding more.

Saheb has come from Dhaka in Bangladesh. Now he is living in Seemapuri at the outskirts of Delhi.

Saheb is looking for coins, rupee notes and any other useful objects in the garbage dumps.  

Saheb and his family have migrated to Seemapuri, a slum area on the outskirts of Delhi, looking for a source of living after they were uprooted from their native village in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Unlike his parents who looked through the garbage dumps for survival, for Saheb, it was a bonanza, wondrous and magical. When one can find a silver coin, one hopes of finding more. He lives in Seemapuri and his family had come from Bangladesh back in 1971.
