MEERUT, Oct 1 — Stitching together cricket balls is a wearisome task for leatherworker Bunty Sagar, whose labours are frowned upon by many fellow Indians even if he makes their favourite pastime possible.
“I don’t feel anything negative about the job I do,” the 32-year-old Hindu told AFP, sweating in a small and stifling production room alongside half a dozen others, moulding leather to the ball’s solid cork centre.Though counting himself among India’s millions of cricket obsessives, his factory’s colossal order book has left him unable to share their excitement for next month’s World Cup on home soil.“I’m working eight hours a day, seven days a week,” he added.
Its success rests on abundant and cheap labour that has reduced the incentive for more mechanised processes used in other countries. Pictures of the bespectacled Ambedkar adorn the otherwise bare walls of Meerut’s cricket factories, in reverence for a man Sagar says he treats “like a god”.
