There are spiders, scorpions and snakes in the field. But that’s not what the boys are afraid of. It’s the snake-charmers that have them on the run.
Some of the local women labourers belong to the Kalbelia tribe, an erstwhile nomadic tribe of snake-charmers famous for their indigenous culture of dance and music. Wikipedia calls the Kalbelia ‘one of the most sensuous dance forms of Rajasthan’. Traditionally, the women dress in black to replicate a snake. They dance in serpentine motions. And they sing with venom.
Kalbelia women can probably out-rap Eminem. They write songs on the fly. And judging by the frequent shrills of laughter within the band of women, the contents of those lyrics are strictly NSFW.
These are some seriously sassy women.
Deputy V has been having a hard time dealing with them. “I tell them to work and then one of them will say something and for the next twenty minutes all the women are laughing at me.”
“So what do you do?”
“Kya karne ka? I turn around and quietly walk away!”
