Last time we interviewed Deepak, he was about 6 years old, though no-one was sure of his exact age. He belongs to one of India's indigenous tribal groups, and lives in a remote rural community with his father, two younger sisters and older half brother. His mother died in childrbirth. His father was a day labouter and often away. He and his stepbrother were trying to look after the family with the help of his grandmother. His health was not good and his grandmother was worried about him. He was going to the local school but often skipped classes.
