The Muslim Lepers Of Taragadh Ajmer

The Muslim Lepers Of Taragadh Ajmer, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

The stretch through barren terrain , from Ajmer town to Taragadh Fort , is a path of pain , with beggars in bad shape, deformed , lepers on the last legs, and they beg pleading invoking.. all the Holy Saints ..

The shells are proxy money ,equivalent to coins that the beggars change with the change money dealers , they get money with a deduction...those who bought the shells pay a percentage for buying it as it is difficult to get coins to distribute to hordes of beggars.

Most of the beggars have open wounds with maggots , they have wounds that need urgent medical attention , but showing their open wounds generates more money..

Its a very sad world I shot it to show you their plight ..the authorities are so busy with the security and law and order , that there should be a contingent to evict them forcefully take them to a hospital and treat them free of cost and pay them too.. with the money that comes in their coffers during the Urus..
