Village of prostitues

In Bharatpur,  Rajasthan, the Khakranagla village is only about 200 km from Delhi. Yet, the village is a microcosm of rural India ramshackle houses, non-functional primary school and no healthcare facilities.

Electricity arrived here just two years ago. But what makes it different is that it's inhabited by a number of families of the Bedia caste who have, for long, been identified with prostitution. In the strangest way of harmonious living found  anywhere in India, the people of this village are matter of fact about their unconventional tradition - having their women - be it daughters, mothers, sisters,  or daughter-in-laws work as sex workers or prostitutes here. The men live off their womenfolk and most of them work as pimps here.

The picture above is of three generations of sex-workers from a single house-hold. In this villgae, depending on youth ( as is wont everywhere ) money is made. The oldest of women make rupees 10 or a little more depending on existing customers, the youngest (work starts for the girls per their wish) worker can charge upto rupees  200/300.   

However, there are some little girls who dream of further education and leading a normal life of a house-holder and there are the rest who want it easy - prostitute themselves, as its easy money and well... they like sex too.
