From a young age, Abdul helped his family earn a living by buying recyclable materials and garbage from trash pickers and selling it to recyclers. Being adjacent to the airport meant trash was abundant, whether from the luxury hotels surrounding the airport or tossed along the road to the international terminal. <strong>The variety and volume of trash coming from the airport, hotels, and construction projects reflected a booming global economy.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Husains were looked down on for being Muslim. Most of the slum\u2019s residents were Hindu, and tensions between Hindus and Muslims span centuries. Even the family\u2019s modest success as garbage sellers drew suspicion from their neighbors in the slum. Muslims often had trouble getting decent jobs, such as those of hotel workers, in Mumbai.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zehrunisa: Abdul\u2019s Mother<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zehrunisa is Abdul in <em>Behind the Beautiful Forevers<\/em>\u2019 mother. She had many obligations to her family and her neighbors. Her husband, Karam, had made a payment on land where he hoped to build a home in a Muslim community just outside of Mumbai. <strong>He saw the move as a chance to give his family a comfortable living without frequent exposure to luxury goods they couldn\u2019t afford, like the fancy cars and clothes seen near the slum. <\/strong>But Zehrunisa wanted to continue living in Annawadi, having found some freedoms she wouldn\u2019t likely have in a predominantly Muslim community. For example, she could more readily confront her husband about things that upset her, something that might be frowned upon by more conservative Muslims who didn\u2019t view it as a woman\u2019s place to do so. She negotiated with her husband to make their hut in Annawadi livable instead of continuing to invest in the land in Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Helpers of Abdul in <\/strong><strong><em>Behind the Beautiful Forevers<\/em><\/strong><strong>: Sunil and Kalu<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Abdul purchased garbage from garbage pickers who lived in the slum, keeping it in a storage shed near his family\u2019s hut. Two garbage pickers he worked with, Sunil and Kalu, embodied the plight facing young boys, especially trash pickers, in the slum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunil<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunil lost his mother early in his life, and his father had taken him to an orphanage. <strong>Sunil became a trash picker when he was kicked out of the orphanage at age 11 because the nuns didn\u2019t want to care for older children.<\/strong> He returned to Annawadi and learned to work hard to provide for himself, selling anything he could. Trash picking was grueling work, and Sunil worried that the work had stunted his growth and he\u2019d end up a small man like his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oftentimes, work involved climbing in and out of dumpsters. Risks included getting gangrene, maggot-riddled wounds, and lice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kalu<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Kalu was known for two things in the slum\u2014working in a diamond factory and scavenging aluminum and other scrap metal, a lucrative prospect. Oftentimes, the industrial facilities that produced these materials had guards or tall fences with barbed wire. Despite these barriers, Kalu could make multiple trips over barbed wire fences in a single night.<strong>Sometimes, police told trash pickers where they could find trash in exchange for a cut of some of their earnings from the materials.<\/strong> In one instance, Kalu and Sunil worked together to take iron rods from a nearby industrial facility. It required expertly navigating the airport grounds, swimming through a polluted river, and going back the same way carr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is Abdul in Behind the Beautiful Forevers?
