My friend Amitava Kumar <http://www.amitavakumar.com/?p=2650> points me to this
poignant picture
<http://sanitysucks.blogspot.com/2009/06/under-table.html>by Ritesh

This is a picture of Sunil and Arvind Parmar, who own a tea stall in
Gujarat. The boy under the table is their Dalit servant, Mangal.

I’d bet that if Mangal wasn’t under the table, the Parmars would have their
feet on the ground, not on their seats, where they seem rather
uncomfortable. Is that out of concern or disgust, you think?

I’d also bet that there are hazaar people out there who wouldn’t see
anything odd in that boy sitting under the table. Such it goes.
