Storyline
Entrepreneur Balram Halwai emails Chinese premier Wen Jiabao, requesting a meeting, and relating his life story. He states his belief that the Indian underclass is trapped in a perpetual state of servitude, like chickens in a chicken coop. However when his father is unable to pay off The Stork, the village landlord, Balram’s grandmother forces him to work in the village’s tea stall, and he never returns to school.

“Making the book into a television show makes it feel so much more real and so much more like a real rock documentary.”
