“我们被告知格拉斯哥的复活节屋住宅区被认为是欧洲最糟糕的贫民窟。我们认为这很荒唐——这些人有保障的住房、电力、冷热水、冰箱、煤气或电灶。按照印度的标准，这已经是中产阶级的奢侈品了。在我的脑海深处，我可以看到贫血、瘦弱的原住民妇女从半公里外用罐子提水；没有电的小屋和每天寻找柴火的妇女，如果能有一公斤大米养家糊口就心存感激……突然间，我们被格拉斯哥周围的贫困现实所震惊。复活节屋里的大多数男人已经二十年没有工作了。他们精神萎靡、抑郁，常常酗酒。他们的自尊已经消失了。在情感和精神上，他们的处境比我们在印度工作的穷人要差得多，尽管贫困的身体特征不那么明显”。 （马塞尔·特卡卡拉 1999）
'We were told that Easterhouse housing estate in Glasgow is considered Europe's worse slum. We thought this was ludicrous-these people had assured housing, electricity, hot and cold water, refrigerators, gas or electric cooking ranges. By Indian standards this was middle-class luxury. At the back of my mind, I could see anaemic, emaciated adivasi women carrying water in pots from half a kilometre away; huts without elec tricity and women searching for firewood every day, thankful if they had a kilo of rice to feed their families ... Then suddenly, we were hit by the reality of the poverty surrounding us in Glasgow. Most of the men in Easter house hadn't had a job in 20 years. They were dispiri ted, depressed, often alcoholic. Their self-esteem had gone. Emotionally and mentally they were far worse off than the poor where we worked in India, even though the physical trappings of poverty were less stark'. (Marcel-Thekaekara 1999)
