Today with wife and 3 children the migrant labour is a Rickshaw puller with an income of nearly five thousand per month spends his earning like this : he pays Rs. 800 jhuggi rent to a local neta, spends Rs two thousand five  hundred on ration from the open bazar, and one thousand eight hundred to buy water per month.

[1] British courts recently rejected Assange’s appeal against extradition to Sweden. Assange has good reason to fear extradition to Sweden: many believe it likely that Sweden would extradite Assange to the United States to face charges under the Espionage Act of 1917 for his role in publishing leaked U.S. diplomatic cables, charges that could carry the death penalty.
