My grandparents (their parents) left a 5,7 and 8 year old behind in India to go to Africa and work for the British. It seems that the schools there weren't very good. So, the children were left behind in the care of relatives.
I imagine that the children were devastated.
My father was only five. Imagine a five-year-old being separated from his mother?
It seems that they were sent by train from Mangalore to Mysore and my uncle who was all of eight years old stood the whole way.
I'm sure they did what they believed was the best but...I think it was actually the worst
