Saroo lived a lavish life with his new family. The couple ensured he’d never forget where he came from by hanging a map of India in his bedroom. They were respectful of his country, despite not knowing where he came from. The map was essential to him.
By waking up to the map every morning, Saroo was continuously reminded of his family and where he came from. He thought of his family often, hoping that his sister and mother were okay, and wondered if Guddu was still there. His family hadn’t given him away; he had gotten lost by accident.
