| Meet the Mughal tea wallah |
| 2005-12-11 |
Meet Sultana Begum, great grand daughter-in-law of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor of India. Clad in a faded shalwar-kurta, her hair tied in a bun, she counts out the money a customer just paid for a cup of tea at her stall. Barely a stone's throw away, her rundown house in a dingy slum at Foreshore Road in Howrah reeks of poverty. |
