Caption:

Aadite, 9, a boy suffering from a severe neurological disorder and malnutrition, is watching cartoons while lying on a bed inside his home in Kabit Pura, near the abandoned Union Carbide (now DOW Chemical) industrial complex in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, central India, site of the infamous 1984 gas tragedy. The poisonous cloud that enveloped Bhopal left everlasting consequences that today continue to consume people's lives. Aadite's father, Raju, a 1984 gas survivor, died in March 2013 at the age of 32, due to lungs failure. Aadite now lives in a small room with his mother, Lakshmi, 29, who works six days a week as a cleaner, his two sisters Mayuri, 12, Mahag, 7, and his younger brother Anuj, 5. None of the siblings in this family is attending school or any kind of practical education.
