PHOTO GALLERY: For one Indian family _ desperately poor, barely educated and living on the fringes of New Delhi life _ hope can be found in their 7-year-old boy with huge eyes and scraggly hair. By AltafQadriAP
In this Jan. 18, 2019 photo, 7-year-old Farmaan poses for a photograph near his home, a wooden fruit vendor's cart, in New Delhi, India. For this Indian family, desperately poor, barely educated and living on the fringes of New Delhi life, hope can be found in the 7-year-old boy with huge eyes and scraggly hair. “I’ll fight,” the boy’s mother said when her husband insisted their son start working. She vowed he would stay in school, no matter what.
Ruby had made it only through fifth grade. Nisar never went to school at all, though he has picked up basic reading and math skills over the years. Plus, his legs have been weak and twisted for as long as he remembers, and the barrel-chested man in his early 40s needs a homemade wheelchair to get around. When his parents died, he says his siblings forced him and his wife to leave the family home, a few hours south of here.
“We are hounded every day,” Nisar says on a drizzly winter afternoon, a disheveled man in a dirty polyester jacket who still manages, somehow, to look courtly. “Even dogs live better than us.” So all hope rests on Farmaan, a 7-year-old with enormous eyes and scraggly hair. Farmaan was the son Ruby defended when her husband tried insisting he leave school to beg.
