Roti, also called chappati, are like flour tortillas. It is the staple food every day for breakfast and dinner, as a counterbalance to the rice we eat at lunch.
Sunitra is at left. She had leprosy and lost part of both feet, which is tragic because she is young and medicine was available by then. Probably her parents were uneducated and uninformed or embarrassed about getting treatment until the leprosy was far advanced.
I visited her at home, where she lives in one small room with her husband and two children.
