Rizwaan, a truck driver from Patna sat morosely in the hospital’s visitor’s chair. When we walked up to him, he broke down, telling us that his father was suffering from cancer. Rizwaan told us that his father, being a devout Muslim, never smoked or drank but he also said that his father was an agricultural worker, often drinking polluted water from plastic bottles in the searing heat of the fields. The doctors had told him that it might have played a prominent role in his father’s cancer.
