Burning stoves, empty pockets: The hidden cost of feeding India’s children
https://www.rt.com/india/615855-invisible-workers-who-feed-millions/
I always hear good things about how organized the Indian working class is, and then I read articles like this

“I started about 10 years ago at 500 rupees (0.5$) per month. Now I get 2,000 rupees ($23) monthly. It’s difficult to manage with such high inflation, but whenever we ask about increasing our payment, we’re just told it will happen someday. Nobody tells us when,”
