Q4. Jose is a government school teacher in Imphal. He lives with his elderly parents in the city while the rest of their family lives in a village in the state. A boy of ten in Jose’s village loses both his parents in a road accident. His mother knew the boy’s family and wants to bring him home. Jose thinks it is a good gesture as a stop-gap arrangement before he is rehabilitated in any of his relatives’ house. He recovers from his loss after receiving care and affection at Jose’s house. But within few days of the boy’s arrival Jose finds that his mother has reduced the boy to a mere domestic help. She suffers from some ailments like rheumatism and having a helping hand around the house all the time is a great help for her. The family with its meagre earnings cannot afford a help.
