A couple named, Muthu and Sundaram were leading a very traumatic life stuck as bonded labourers. Little did they know about whom to approach for help, they got their two small children into the work too. All this happened at the time when they aspired to start their life at a local woodcutter for lumber work. The cunning owner tricked them into the bond by luring them with a Rs 1,000 Loan and a job offer.
Muthu(F) and Sundaram(M), were living in a small hut without any basic amenities in an open land behind Chennai airport. They constructed this small hut on an open place, always in fear of snakes, scorpions and dangerous insects. They were so stuck in this situation when the owner had conspired against them and burnt their earlier bigger hut. Making them be more helpless he encashed on it.
The unfortunate moment when they have accepted the loan and the job offer pushed their family into darkness. The innocent helpless couple had many dreams and ambitions about their kids. Despite their situation, they have always wanted to educate their children.
After the fire incident, indirectly caused by the owner, he went on to get the two kids to work too. He paid their grandparents and got these two to work. It was heart-wrenching for the mother, Muthu, to watch their kids work instead of play and learn at that age.
One fine day, few officials have approached the owner's workplace and inspected the area. They got with them 'Release Forms' of the bonded labourers and released the family of four. After which, the couple got enrolled under the PDS System, got an Aadhaar identity each, have the job cards and also constructed a small house. The officials warned them of such bonds to keep them cautious.
After which the lady has also rescued an elderly man into falling into the trap. In their words, "I warned him against taking an advance and told him how bonded labour works". Sundaram continues saying, " Coming out of there was like coming out of jail. We did not want him to suffer too".
Enjoying the taste of freedom, the couple was all smiles and had this to share, " Now, life…our children…everything is joyful. We can work when we want. We stay at home, in our own house. We don’t have to fold our hands, submit and work for anyone anymore. We are free!".
