24 hours with Rakesh (Work in progress) **6:50 am.**

February 1, 2008 | Filed Under 24 hours with Rakesh 

6:50 am.
Rakesh eats a couple of cookies with a little chai (tea with milk) for breakfast while his mother awaits the moment to dress him with the school uniform. Krishna, his mother, is 35 years old and she born with a problem in her foot that prevents her from working normally. Nobody wants to give her a work but she gets some money doing small jobs cleaning houses nearby.

In India there is a great discrimination against women. More than 60% think that men are better political leaders than women, and 70% think that when jobs are scarce, men should have more right to a job than women.
