What is it like for Saroo to live in the orphanage?

The orphanage is a difficult place to live. They cut Saroo's hair and show him a bed in a giant room filled with beds. He worries that he will never leave, and witnesses mistreatment of the children by the adults in charge. One boy, who clearly has mental health issues and sometimes hits his head on things, gets pulled out of a class and punished by the authorities. One night, some adults pull that same boy out of his bed and beat him in the middle of the night. The children sing to comfort themselves. Saroo's early education about how the world works shows him that oftentimes, people who are the most vulnerable are the most victimized by those who purport to help.
