This is the saddest post amongst all. It will highlight the life of Pakistani labors - many of whom are tied to bonded labor, unknowingly. The links below are a story a brick maker and how he spend his day? what his life is like? What the future holds for him? How much he earns? This is not just one man - but millions like him.
They start their day even earlier than a sunrise. Both husband and wife makes 900 bricks a day ( if they really work extremely hard). This get them 1(one dollar) USD. With 5 mouths to feed - the labor said: "future is dark, and this is how we will just die - this is our fate - others don;t even consider us as human beings!"
The name of the program is "A day with GEO TV" on GEO Network of Pakistan. Host's name is Sohail and the labor is Hanif.
Pakistan is a feudal country, people are either too rich or too poor, they are either too liberal or too radical. Since 9/11 - the whole world has changed but - for these people things have gone from bad to worst but for Pakistan, well, it is unrecognizable.
As for these people, they have no clue of anything in and around them, not even a next village a few kilometers away from their own...but overall, they are all categorized as terrorists or radicals of some sort - a danger to the world. ;-(
War on error and Pakistan's marriage of discord with the United States - was a rich mans' game...a common Pakistani does NOT even know that there is a a country called the United States or city called Islamabad (capital of Pakistan).
Video 1 (Part 1) can be seen here - don't forget to watch it - of course you won't understand the conversation but underneath I'll translate the conversation between the interviewer and the labor.
Video 2 (part 2) here.
