A Puzzle!

OK guys, one question!

There was this guy Ram, working in a gulf country. In a textile shop.
Once, while he was home on leave, his uncle Sudarshan, came to see him.
Now, this man had come to ask Ram if he could take his son, Sharath, who is deaf, with him overseas. And ultimately, get him a job in the shop.

Ram was reluctant. On one hand, Sharath was deaf. And he had a slight limp. He could not walk for long and cant hear. What job!!

Now, since his uncle kept bugging, he agreed. Next year, Sharath left with Ram for The Gulf.

One month into the job, the owner [of a chain of textile shops] sent Ram back home, in search of more deaf and lame people, for the other branches.

Now the question.
What was the job Sharath was given? And why was the owner eager to get more of the kind?

I will tell you this. The textile shop surely made a noteable increase in profits cos of Sharath being employed. It is logic and pure practiality. Nothing else!

In textile company, there is lot of work which involves work in static condition with hands only, in the ambiance of high decibel of noise, like sewing with machine..
It is possible, a deaf can work patiently using their hand for long hours with increased productivity ...

@ Amit : Yes. You are partially rght amit!
But what about the limp?
Even that stops him from roaming too much around.
And yeah, adding to your explanation, he does not idle time talking to others as he could not hear anything. [While others almost always did.

Now, this is something that really happened. :)
