(2/2) After my conversation with Ram Naresh Dai, I did not have it in me to ask questions to the still grieving mother, who had quietly gone inside and brought this picture of her son, Dilip Yadav, who had died when security personnel opened fired during the riots of the Terai-Madhes Andolan. She just stood in the doorway, in complete silence as I took this picture. All I could hear was a quivering whisper. “My son will never return home.” (Sinurjoda 4, Arerewa, Dhanusa)
