I met Saravanan one evening in the town of Pondicherry, on a back road piled with garbage overlooking a smelly canal.

一天傍晚，在庞蒂切利镇一条水渠边气味难闻、堆满垃圾的小路上，我找到了萨拉瓦南。

When he died, Saravanan and his siblings were left helpless, at the mercy of loan sharks and, unschooled, incapable of managing the farm.

他死去之后，萨拉瓦南和兄弟们无依无靠，只能听任债主的摆布。 由于没有上过学，他们对管理农场无能为力。
