Text and Images from Biju teje magia
Era una tarde calurosa en la silenciosa y polvosa villa de Julminda, cerca de Sambalpur, en Odisha. Biju, de nueve años, estaba sentado debajo de un árbol esperando a su padre. Iría con Bapa en un viaje largo. Una mosca zumbó cerca de su oreja. El brillo del sol junto con el “clac-clac” constante de los telares de las casas cercanas lo hicieron sentirse cansado.
Pensó que podría dormir un poco en compañía del perro café que había venido a compartir la sombra con él, pero el perro estaba jadeando tan fuerte en el calor que no dejó dormir a Biju.
Biju, como la mayoría de los niños en su pueblo, no iba a la escuela. Quería ir a la escuela pero sus padres habían dicho que no servía de nada que aprendiera cosas que no tuvieran nada que ver con su profesión de tejedor. Sólo tendría pensamientos inútiles en su cabeza sobre trabajar en una oficina.
Así que Biju trató de convencerse a sí mismo que la escuela no era divertida porque los niños que sí iban se veían tristes y tenían que cargar mochilas pesadas llenas de libros. El hermano de un amigo obtuvo un ‘diploma’ después de ir a la escuela pero no le había ayudado a conseguir trabajo. Había ido arriba y abajo muchas escaleras en edificios altos de oficinas en Mumbai pero sólo le habían ofrecido trabajo en tiendas de té, kioskos de periódicos y de conserje. Ya había vuelto a casa, ayudando a su padre a tejer ikat saris, los cuales llevaba a Mumbai de vez en cuando a vender a un vendedor mayorista.
