River gypsies in are in ethnic group of people Bangladesh. They are known as beady. They have won lifestyle and culture but have not any land to live. They live in the country made boats and traveling one place to other. This people Rome in the river from may to December. In the winter when all of the water places are become dry then they return in to land living for few month. They live in the land from January to April. Then they are   busy with fishing and men catch snakes for snake charming and sell herbal cures. Women g door to door to sell bangles, cosmetics and they also trey too heal pains of people by sucking out blood of their body. Some village people believes that they can make an evil spirit leave someone’s body b their magical power. Our country becomes urbanized very rapidly so they are losing customers and hence their income is threatened.  Now they are having in many problems. Scientist believe that Bangladesh will be worst affected by global climate change. In dry season’s waterway has become 24000 km to 6000 km. now their boat movement has heavily restricted by the unpredictable rain and dry. They have no land to live so there no home to live. Their boat is their home.  The gypsy’s children are born and brought up on rooming boat so they can not go to school. And hence some voluntary organizations are running special schools on boat to educate the river gypsy’s children in some areas. Are called the mobile school.
