of tragic life that fills alleys and avenues;
it blocks the way of pedicabs, police, convoys.”

By giving respect, they hope to gain self-respect and through self-respect, they gain the respect of others. Self-respect is one of the qualities my people stress and try to nurture, and one of the controls an Indian has as he grows up. Once you lose your self-respect, you just go down.”
