Setting:Rural India

Rural areas were calm until industrialization(tannery) showed up.
The Tannery can be helpful or bad for the village.Ex. If you get a job at the Tannery then you can make more money than working in the fields. It also is turning the rural village more into a small town.Some negative effects because of the Tannery are that prices on food have risen, and some farmers cannot afford to buy food now. The Tannery is noisy, and disturbs the peace of the village. The area where the children used to play is now where the Tannery stands.
