This book examines the stark socio-economic divide between domestic workers and their affluent employers in India. It highlights how rural, uneducated, and economically disadvantaged women migrate to urban centers like Delhi to serve as domestic help for the nation’s wealthiest. The text underscores the inherent inequalities and tensions that persist within these arrangements, as well as the evolving dynamics in this relationship—ranging from strict hierarchies of the past to present-day complexities, such as issues of abuse, guilt, and exploitation. The work sheds light on the lives of these women, the courts where cases of mistreatment unfold, and the households where class disparities are palpable.
