When I dabasir was a young man his father died and he inherited the family business of his father and he had learned the trade from his father but he was not skilled in trade.

being young and not very skilled , he could only earn a little just for his and his families survival .he and his family craved things which they cannot afford . Soon he found's out that shop keepers believes him even if he says he will pay later .being young and without experience he did not know that he who spends more than he earns is sowing needles in his gardens which will surely reap the the whirlwinds of trouble and humiliation . So he indulged and bought fine food ,silk embroidered sarees and wine for his family and wife ,beyond his means. but soon he realised that he is not able to earn both for living and debt repayment.

Creditors began to pursue him to pay for his extravagant purchases and his life become miserable . he borrowed from his friends and but could not able to repay them either things went from bad to worse . his wife left his home and gave him divorce and his family members left him alone ,creditors came and started asking for money sometimes peacefully and sometimes by violence ,he sold his all properties but still not able to repay the debt so he decided that he run from delhi into the forests.

for two years he had been roaming around the forest and he made a group of skill robbers and started robbing the merchant's and traders were not protected by the soldiers.

for sometime his life was very stable and happy but after sometime they were got caught by the soldiers and the soldiers didn't killed them instead they sold them to the merchant who are in human trafficking and made them slaves .

The merchant took them by silk road to afghanistan and printed slaves tages on their hands and bodies .they took them to huge market were there clothes were removed and they were naked standing like statue and men's and women's of nobility comes and goes some touches them to see how muscular they are and some just shows disdainful looks towards them .

then Dabasir was purchased for two pieces of silver by a chief of small tribe .with his hairs shown and his attitude there was nothing different in other slaves and him . being a reckless person ,he thought it was a adventure until my master took me before his four wives and told them they could have him for an eunuch.

then he realised the hopelessness of his situation . these men if afghan were fierce and warlike . he was a object to their will without weapons or means of escape.

fearful as he stood , as those women of tribal chief looked over him , he wondered if he could take pity from them . Sira , the first wife , the older than the others . her was was impassive as he looked upon him. he turned from her with little consolation . next was a contemptuous beauty who gazed at him as indifferently as if he had been a worm of the earth . The two younger ones tittered as though it was are all an exciting joke .

It seemed to him an age that he stood there waiting in a attention position .Each women was willing to others to decide . finally sira spoke up in a cold voice .

" we have enough eunuch but I need a horse tender because I have to travel to my sick mother's house and I didn't have someone trustworthy.

Striving to conceal his eagerness , Dabasir replied ,"I can make them kneel, I can load them ,I can lead them on long trips etc

"

from that day the journey of the slave dabasir started .
