He accidentally boarded a train that took him thousands of kilometers away from home to Kolkata (then Calcutta), where he didn’t know the language or how to find his way back. He lived on the streets for weeks, facing hunger and danger before being taken to an orphanage. Eventually, Saroo was adopted by a loving Australian couple and grew up in Tasmania, where he led a comfortable life, though he never forgot his roots.
