Nearly 10 kilometres away from Cuddalore (Tamil Nadu), in a small village, stands a hut barely large enough for two people. Its low roof is made of dried leaves, the walls are of mud, and lying on the ground is a single bedding. This is where Meenamma (name changed), a 78-year-old woman, lives alone—frail, dependent, and surviving on the kindness of others.
