Doesn’t the government in Orissa have something better to do with its time than institute a crackdown on snake charmers? It’s one of the poorest states in India, with a ridiculously high illiteracy rate. Its 40% Dalits and Adivasis, who are already plenty oppressed by the government and society in general. Perhaps there are bigger fish to fry…
I think snake charming tops the list of jobs I will never hold. But more power to them if they don’t freak out like I do.
Exactly what do they do that constitutes torture?
