Paragraph of A DAY LABOURER


By the term day labourer, we mean a person who works hard from dawn to dusk on the basis of daily wages. He has practically no land of his own. He has only two hands to depend on and he uses his hands forcefully rather than skillfully. There are millions like him all over Bangladesh. All the year round, they toil untiringly. They build our industries, building, bridges, dams etc. A day labourer usually lives in a slum. He is shabbily dressed and lives a sub-human life with his family. He has no fixed income. He gets wages if he can work. However, if he can earn more than usual, his face beams with joy and shares his feelings with his family at a nice meal. But during rainy days he finds no work and his whole family starves. He can hardly buy new clothes and fancy things. His life is full of uncertainty and tension. He does not know whether he will get employment all the time. If he meets an accident, he dies without treatment. Thus a day labourer in our country knows pain much more than pleasure.
