What forces conspire to keep the workers in the bangle industry of Firozabad in poverty?

Injustices such as the cruel acts of sahukars, the middlemen, the policemen, the keepers of the law, the bureaucrats and the politicians force the workers into poverty. The stigma of caste in which they are born in also confines them from searching for a better livelihood. Lack of vision and leadership among the community restricts them from overcoming these forces.
