| Publisher Description: This personal narrative pursues a single question: what does it truly mean to be poor? Driven by discontent over existing literature about poverty, a 17-year old decided to experience the hardships of poverty for himself. In an attempt to understand destitution, Yohaan Dalal spent a week in a rural Indian village on 100 rupees ($1.5) a day. Through his interactions with countless indigent individuals, ensuring sustenance on low finances, and observing his surroundings, Yohaan's perspective of poverty was transformed. This book shares the week-long quest through captivating stories, authentic descriptions, and conceptualization of poverty. Hundred Rupees A Day is, more than anything, an invitation to explore poverty; one which offers, through personal accounts, insights for anyone seeking to confront the most seemingly complex human challenges. |
