A death in the hut

In a conflict over an age-old tradition in Majhkot, nobody wins.

About two decades ago, Rudra used to be a porter. Then one day a group of German trekkers felt pity for him and took him with them to Germany where he worked in a bakery shop for ten years. He wanted to stay for a few more years in Germany, but the untimely death of his 17-year-old daughter and eight-year-old son forced him to return to his village.
