During my week in Devli, I lived next door to a family. They called the little girl Choto, which means little, because she is small and cute. The showed me how to make chai and taught me a Rajasthani dance. They bought me bangles and made me not-too-spicy chicken because I’m an American non-veg. They showed me their slate mine where they employ 150 workers and pay the women 50 rupees a day to move the rocks on their heads in the sun. I visited their family palace where they have a ten year old child servant who can’t read or write and doesn’t go to school that they don’t pay. We watched Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
