The Siddis of Junagadh Gujrat The Forgotten Race, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
The Siddis who come to perform at the Urus of Makhdhoom Shah Baba Mahim , hardly mingle with the locals , they stay in their own cluster , speaking their dialect, and smoking beedis ..smiling grinning .. and are very emotive as acrobats dancers and drummers ..
They are hired by a few Mahim families too and they perform at the Sandal procession , keeping the crowds of Mumbai entertained by their antics, the public too gives them money mostly loose change..and little kids of Mahim love them for their stylish dance moves and drum beats ..
