Where do I begin. Let’s put it like this, you don’t want to be black and be in Ahmedebad. People balked at me, moved to the other side of the walkway or street, and consistently served me last at restaurants. I would order and get my food last – cold or melted. In Dehli, I only experienced this once at a restaurant. I asked the waiter that if the dish was too spicy or had tomatoes in it that I could NOT eat it. He assured me that it had neither. When he arrived with the food, he frowned then snickered at me and served the food. It had both tomatoes and spices. The chicken dumplings that I ordered were not cooked. I sent them back and they came back pink a second time. I didn’t really eat that night.
What was cool was the SEWA women’s union of craftspeople and workers. They are powerful and talented. To see more on their organization check the website, www.sewa.org. Also see pictures above of SEWA’s outreach.
