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.
