Eight years ago, a fifteen year old girl was going to be sold by her own family to a brothel in Delhi. While they were walking to the brothel she ran away and escaped from them. She hid in the first house that she found open and she asked for help from the first person she saw. That person thought the girl would be at risk of being killed if they found her and he decided to call relatives in Amritsar, to ask if they could help her. Since then, that girl who now is 23 years old, has lived in Narinderjit's house, the man who is hosting me. In return of having her at home, she does the cooking and the housework. The family love her like a daugther. They've even bought a house to give her as a dowry when she'll get married.Álvaro Enterría, a Spanish writer who knows the country very well writes that "in India you can see the most horrifying scenes but also the most sublime ones". Here you have a perfect example of this.
