The bangle maker from Firozabad shares how bangle makers cannot do anything else but make bangles. This job does not pay them enough. The lack of money prevents them from getting educated. This in turn makes it hard for them to find other jobs, thereby allowing for the vicious cycle of poverty to continue.
The owner of the roadside stand shares how they wait all day for city people to stop by and buy something from them so that they can earn a little money.
Both of them are plagued by poverty and are unable to make ends meet.
While the bangle makers of Firozabad are afraid that the police, bureaucrats and the sahukars will punish them for forming a collective to assert their rights, the people of the countryside are misled by the promises of the government and other agencies who pretend to help them.
There seems to be no solution to help the bangle makers or the owners of roadside stands to improve their financial positions.
