Due to the poverty of the family, I could not even recognize letters in my childhood. Father used to beat iron and make tools. Mother used to do housework. I went to India to work as a laborer at the age of 16 when I had no growth and no income.

Sometimes at home and sometimes at work in India, there was also a marriage. The wife used to do housework here and there. For that I used to send household expenses from India . Two/four paise earned abroad would have been good enough to buy food, salt, oil . I have two sons and two daughters . 

There was no awareness that children should be sent to school in the Dalit community. Only the children of the so-called upper caste and poor people used to go to school . Times were changing. In the village of those who read the book, the respect and value increased. At that time there were many people who went to work with me. When I returned home, my bag was full of other people's letters and parcels . I used to bring only relatives' or close friends' goods, sweets, cumin etc. . When I was in India, I also used to write letters to educated people. On the other hand, parents used to look for people who could read and write and read and write letters and send them. 

After spending 10 years in India, I came back to my own village Bhumikasthan Municipality-9 Dhikura . Remembering that you have suffered, teach your children . The eldest son and daughter are already married. After coming here, I started the work of beating iron that my father was doing. 

I took the stand of not going to work in another country . But, my wife went to Kuwait because nothing happened here . Now I live alone at home . It has been 3 and a half years since my wife went to Kuwait to build a good house in the village and educate her children. Now it's time to come. There wife earns Rs 60,000 per month .

Balighare custom was widespread in the village . For making and beating household weapons such as sickles, spades, axes, dabu etc., grain leaves, milk, ghee and a little wealth are given during festivals and sometimes even clothes. The grain raised by beating the iron in the village and collecting it in the barns had to be used for food for the whole year. 

I sent my children to government school with the same expenses. They also read well. The skills and ancestral profession of Jana have not left even now . I will do it as long as my body can. In the year 2073, I received the training of modern Aran. That made it a little easier. Now I have 20 children . Throughout the year I make their sickles, spades, axes and other household tools . For that, they give food including wheat, corn, and rice by threshing. 20 I keep the grain leaves collected at home . It is not enough to eat on the anniversary. Ancestral profession has recently become a business too. 

I get paid for working for others except Balighar . 50 for sickle, 50 for spade, 100 for ax, 100 for hoe, 20 for vegetable cutter. If I make a new one and sell it, I will take two/three hundred wages . I earn 10 to 15 thousand rupees per month by fitting iron. I bring meat and eat it on days when I have cash income . A lonely soul doesn't need much . The same lentils and vegetables taste delicious.
