FIELD SITES
For the field site, I have chosen my own area,
New Usmanpur. This region exists in the North
Eartern part of Delhi. This is the area which is
not very well-known to people. Like the usual
structure, the Jatts or Muslims or comparatively
well off “lower” caste people reside in the
centre part of the region. However, a large
number of “lower” caste people live in the outer
part of the region. Largely, we can say that the
people of this area has developed economically
but still remained backward in social and
cultural terms. There are a large number of
people who migrate particularly from Bihar
state to work as they can find a small room at a
comparatively lower cost. There are women
who earn by producing many different things at
home such as hair clips, Rakhi, birthday cap and
so on. They do work at a very cheap rate. One
can also find a lot of home tuitions without any
nameplates or advertisements that is run by
women who give tuitions at their home at a very
cheaper price. This is also because most of the
families do not prefer to send their women out
of the house. So many women do earn some
money by teaching at home. Generally, these
women teach till 10th standard. Three out of
four mothers with whom I have interviewed do
some home based earning in these kinds of field
if it is possible for them. How did I select my
participants? Earlier I myself was little nervous
because I was not sure if somebody would be
comfortable in talking to me or not. So, for that,
I have tried to talk to those mothers who
actually knew me before. That is why, I have
talked to two mothers to whom I knew before
as I was teaching their kids last year. And in
order to contact rest two mothers whose child
has some kind of disability, I have contacted
through my cousin sister. That is how, it
become easily accessible to me.
