poverty-2

Writer talks about the wondering and homeless tribes and their lives, after reading that all, we realise that their condition is worse than some downtrodden in our society. As let them be outside the villages, they have their place, but these tribes lack that too. I have even personally seen the problems of the tribe called "katkari" found mostly in parts of Mumbai.

Now when we are aware of "money issue", let us turn to the problems relating that. as swami said in previous post," The determination shown by these "ordinary souls" is in no way less to that of a "great" one..." he is right, i appreciate his sensitivity.

However, how long they have to put all their courage, power, brains and thus, lives, in just search of food, which is also not available enough!

It is just not about poverty, but even for the questions it breeds, it can be education, marriage system, health, superstitions, and a overall existence of those..

Some more facts:-

In the survey, some activists ask a man to meet and interview his wife; he allowed them but told them to wait for 10 minutes. As was surprising, activists asked,’ why she needs 10 minutes?' Her husband replied," as she has only one saree, which is washed and kept out for drying today, so is nude inside the hut"
As a woman, I can understand the calamity of this fact, how difficult it must be for her.

I still remember a female being threatened and whipped badly by her relatives, husband, brother-in-law, and father-in-law, on a minute doubt of adultery on her. Which was because she gave birth to TWINS !! pity!!

The males and boys of such tribes are FREE MODELS for police to try their muscular power. They spend all of their life in shifting their hut from one place to another, robbing something or being caught by police and crushed badly.
