Kidney

About the Book

Inder Jeet, a ragpicker in the slum of a landfill area of Ghazipur in Delhi, miraculously becomes an audience member in an international conference held in Montreal, Canada, after his unpublished research paper “Orphan Nephron’s Observation: Red Kidneys Are Blue to Green the Environment.” Like kidneys in an animal’s body, they filter the reusable items from waste to give back into the bloody money circulation system, where economic disparity and deprivation are to constitute their fate. Their lots, in an entire nation, contribute in sharing the responsibility with municipalities of Indian cities but only to go unnoticed. After the conference, he landed back in Delhi to end up with a new set of problems, where kids from his lot toil their lives in a scrap settlement in Jain Disposals in Ghazipur instead of being in schools. The organization Uttar Daani, involved in Ranchit’s organ donation for transplants, fails to provide the promised job to Jhihari because of his ill-fated cousin Niranjan. Niranjan murders a cop in order to rescue a poor rickshaw puller who wanted to have his meal before he could drop the cop to the next crossing on the highway. Eventualities with Niranjan bring turmoil in Inder’s life and jail for himself, where he gets a new motto in life from the mercenaries of Jail Raho Aandolan.
