injured torn. in a ceremony at the fort he then really is the guardian from the bounds. i could find no virgin records of the guardiola has history so i wanted to see the stone for myself and discover exactly what the 5 or the fact. they took the following vows never to return to she taught never to live in a house never to sleep in a bed never to light a candle and never to drink water from a well they adopted a very simple nomadic lifestyle moving from place to place and living in the bullock carts for 400 years they followed their bows and remained faithful to their . 100 native who had also granted land i'm benefits to the guardians but sadly subsequent governments failed to deliver on those promises. it's really shocking that these people who fought for their country and were so loyal to their

leader might have run a pitot honoring the oath for so many years and now living as a forgotten community. today of a god he has continued their traditional way as blacksmiths as they did from iran at the top centuries ago. this is their only source of income. for many of the guardian a hospital follow the tradition of living and traveling carts known as the goddy. guardian bought their god is a very important church marriage happens everything happens our children live in the market with or without them we are nothing guarded we love our culture and all bullets which are always with them we call it without the compass and people living in them for generation after i got

a. job all my get out then is when we move to a place sometimes the village people don't let us stay they hate us because we're a traveler can you take. some people hate us and some don't i thought i. did love it i thought we move on when we're not welcomed and when we get to the next place we ask if we can strain. to lose our. job is that it is hard they don't you try to get permission and sometimes they let us stay and work for a few days. you know up but i don't know that you are going to get near i'll. leave.

i met a travelling cardiod the hard family who wanted to show me how they make their i need to have souls i must know muster. why are you making. utensils for vegetables club good on me and. i fancy with that person is what are you. ok. so how was it made. me burn coal in the rock pit at the rock wire and then we hammer it to make the ita. we work hard together she operates the fan to keep the fire hot then the final product is made ok. how do you sell this. is what we sell in the market in villages. we carry the items on our hands consumption in the villages and how much of the sell for. 50 or 60 rupees. how

many do you sell a day. 6 or 7 or 8 a day. and when you go into the market next we'll go tomorrow. i can come with it. you can join us if you want to the women are the lovers of. god young women work hard they fetch the water make the food tend to the livestock and play an equal part in the blacksmith work. men and women share for me but. end up after this is my husband we're making tools together. it's a lovely here. trying to model that no no we both have to work to earn enough to live. and we need to

eat. what else can we do to feed our children are cutting back. was. big audio hogs where once highly respected craftsmen are fine armory from iran to talk. but now they work consists of repairing and shopping tools and making simple household utensils and i for cultural implements. i went back to visit the family who had showed me how to make tools. i know it. was sad oh god. oh i don't know what i have no

money. so let's go to the market i looked but i'm ok oh god oh my god i'm not going to knock them out but i think. i. was. joking i made was i. was. i think you going to set up here. was when the family 1st laid out their tools on the street people crowded around and we quickly sold several items i thank. god. but i soon realized that it was my presence on the camera being bad. that was

attracting the customers for i don't. know i'm going now. i decided to leave and watch from a distance. once the camera was out of sight the customers disappeared. the family sat on the pavement for the rest of the day and all the soul a few more items. must produce tools have overtaken makarios livelihood they cannot compete it has made them one of the lowest in the poverty line community use in india. their day of selling only made them around a 100 rupees just enough to buy vegetables for the next few days. if the guardians don't sell enough often they'll have to go hungry. i saw at differing levels of poverty in all the guardian the hard communities that i met with the ones that were

still living a travelling life in a chorus state then those who were settled. a number lifestyle is not sustainable in today's developing india. although released from their vows by prime minister neighbor it's clear to this state that some guardians are still influenced by the old staff or fathers talk from our run of the top. some do want a different life but they don't know how to live any other way. i found out that the guardiola hearts have a c. in your head of the community name got around so i travelled to push to meet him. no one guessing what looks like for us. is a passionate advocate for the rights of the guardian the house. he has been struggling

with the authorities and has an on calling campaign to secure designated land for some of the guardiola hard communities. i remember was talking about but. i'll tell you what happened the day before yesterday when i met the home minister of raja stan. i said to him give us a date for the inauguration of the marana pratap colony so that these people can get settled. here they set a date next month october 6th and we were happy that the home minister would come. around went on to tell me that the minister kept changing the date for the handover to land delaying the entire process. it was clear that the battle to improve conditions for his people is a very emotional one for him. i

took an oath that until i get these people settled and their children educated i want nothing more from life. as things are if they don't have money for food. they will go to bed hungry. they wouldn't steal or rape they stay away from crime. i believe that i was sent by god to serve this community. so i feel very proud to have been born here. your movie goer.

in this country it's very difficult to fight for the rights of poor people. give martorano a prototype was alive today even he might have given up. this is how the situation is in this country for people like us they don't bother about a tribe of warriors who fought for their country. no one takes any notice of us they don't wonder if these people have food if they have a place to sleep that's just how it is. meeting with the came to understand the suffering that can come from not having the security of a permanent place to live. i met a family you have and your great hardship without a stable home one of the sons records showed me where the family lived please come in ok. i was there you look beautiful.

the record thing that's for both famous small they don't have money his brothers and his mom has expired. where does everyone sleep there are one or 2 more beds like this. and your mom stays in here as well yeah. ok so i'll tell you how long have you lived here for 3 years. ok earlier we lived in sheetrock quote the jaipur development authority moved us out of there but it was the height of the rainy season when they dropped us here it was raining heavily and everything got soaked we had no food we didn't eat properly for 5 days we were given a few biscuits. well look what he said we've had a lot of difficulties the g.t.a. said they'd provide us with everything but we didn't get anything at all we didn't even have water here we had to ask a neighboring houses for drinking water later there was

a government bore hole nearby and all of us got together and paid to get a water connection from their. body. so how have they spoke to anyone in the government to try and help them you know. have you tried to speak to someone when my dad was alive we tried but now no one listens to us they can come any time to move us from here to that's why we shot it's because they can demolish all shelters any time. so your father is not here what do you plan to do how do you plan to make money and keep the family. i mean right now i'm in my last year of college so i'm looking for a part time job to cover the household expenses. and i'll get a full time job so the talk in the call to my family which. i. plan to ship to sell it to a house or to the list i have never liked just living like this forever. this is

the day if i get a well paid job i want to take care of the family i'll build a nice house for my mom and dad sorry my dad is to see but i'll give my mom a better life and. after having so many stories about the issues i want to supply i wondered what is the government doing to improve matters. i managed to arrange a brief meeting with the minister of water i wanted to ask him if he could solve the problem at a particular location that i have been to. if you give me the name of the location i will arrange a water supply for them whether it's a hand pump or a tube well or will install a public stand pipe for water. tell me the location and in 24 hours i'll make the

arrangement. and. when you come across locations like this just write to me then we will sort it out. and. i will sort it out. because it got a lot harkey immunity there. they've got land but no water facility to. do an immediate water supply arrangement in that area report back to me and let me know what arrangements you've made whether it's a hand pump or public standby. if there is no connection arrange it as soon as possible. nobody or harsh should be left without a water supply. for

the next few days i tried to contact the minister to follow up on his month. but he was unable to take my calls. up until now no water supply has been provided at the location i told him about. big ideas are often overlooked. i wonder how can they ever change their destiny. on my travels i notice your school name the guardian the hard school. it was neglected and empty but no pupils this was worry and. i strongly feel that one of the ways they got here the hoskin to break out of this cycle of deprivation is by getting an education. but to do that schools need to be available to them and the guardian children need to attend them. i was able to meet the minister for education to discuss this. he told me many god

he has not been educated. and that's because of one of these they don't know all the borders of the education for them so there is a one of these 6 in the these communities moving from one place to 2nd place but they are in their economy or labor so that's where the other must settle a place that is always there on the visa even those what. they also must be as you get it unless until. they are their. mother or father they are not educated they're not saying to their children to their schools so far as to music way to create the appearance they are or family members what is the importance of education like that. education is not for us we don't think that way we live in dust we eat dust dust is our destiny studying.

impossible schools are too far away we can't move forward. what's your name you go to school. why i look after the goats. you want to go smooth. do you never want to go earlier used to go ok well then why did you stop. here would take the goats out otherwise. your mum can do it. my mum takes care of the house. we want to go back to school. you know what you want to do when your when you grow. this way i'm going to teach. them what i am. oh i visited your site old guard your community so low that's when i would go as

far as that i wanted to know if having a house and so much permanent to live made it more likely that big ideas would access education was. very easy. and i did find some guardian hard families who see the importance of sending michelle into school was and i am now christer how all this saying oh. i spoke to priyanka and her mother that. i'm not part of the our own environment where i study and i have an interest in history. i study my sister studies and one of my brothers studies. my eldest brother studied until 10th grade. is the work we used to do meant that my father needed his help so he had to end his education but i'm younger but i. i don't know whether i would be able to study

further or not but i think that if i do then i will become a doctor. people think that girls don't need to study because why should they when they'll be running their in the rules homes once their marital our. body are you more level headed but in our area when a girl is grown up her parents have to face questions from neighbors. like who will marry your daughter if she studies. how will you even be able to sleep having to keep such grown up daughters are they married why aren't they married yet. my mom tried to turn us away from getting educated and then she put a stop to studying i had to leave my school for almost 2 years and after that my father stepped in he's educated himself so he wanted me to go to school he said i'll handle your mom you study so i went to school we have so many girls in our area but only 3 of us go to school let me get out there buddy. attending school can

be difficult if you live in a calm. so i talk to sunday before your pupil letter both my friend asks me to his house but i tell him i live in a slum and he lives in a house so i can't go to him and i doubt the. like i want to be a teacher and help my parents build a nice house i pray to god that my power will be granted. if i get a teacher's job i can take care of everything. even though the guardian the ha's enjoy poverty posh living conditions and lack of

education one really positive aspect to their lives is the importance of family. i was invited to a coffee on the hard reading. not getting married today yes excited. to hear. an old. software with everybody would like. to learn to hear the band just as these sisters did and. and you're married yes been married. so she's not she's getting married today but we were married early and i know how many brothers how many did not by. 5 brothers were here to have it all together. on 8 so that's a lot. so

your daughter is getting married today how do you feel absolutely right right inside i feel unhappy but what can i do. who wouldn't feel sad your heart breaks a little in the end a mother is always some might argue too much. so if your daughter does not like her husband can she get divorced. if he upsets her then we'll ask the husband to treat her well so that they can live together happily cook nice food and have a good life. but if they don't use it accepted. the wife to leave and come back to the family if she doesn't want to stay she can come home if she wants to go back she can or if she doesn't we'll get home married elsewhere is it expensive getting your daughters married. yes everything is expensive how much does a cost to get $250000.00 rupees so how did you save that money if it was ok

we're going to poor people like us have to borrow money for our kids marriage and pay interest so in installments of 203-0500 rupees. we work hard to earn enough to pay it back. if we pay late will face some consequences you're going you're the regular old guard ago. it was clear to me about a successful marriage having a big family and lots of children is important to the guardian has way of life. to pay for a wedding like this but put the bride's parents in debt for years to come. it's a huge sacrifice but one that guardiola hearts are happy to make. they only marry but in my own community. and the choice of partner is made by the parents.

and. i think. the bride got body in 10 minutes by the side of the body that was just like i haven't seen in years. this would be the 1st time that she would ever see her groom . was never that it was. not what i felt so privileged to have been welcomed into such a happy event. i remembered but i was

told in j. paul before meeting the guardian laws that i should stay away and that the are dangerous and untrustworthy people. but what i found was the opposite. that. it was hard to understand the negative reputation that guardiola has seemed to have after the positive experience i had but then i wanted to confirm how they are viewed by the local authorities i managed to get a meeting with the commissioner of police for j. por i believe that this suppose that you. not. 'd believe it or incidence. believe there is a case against them if you've lost or that they are complainants in many cases

like the indian people. but then the but certainly. from a place they go to any relation to the peak of all the customs and traditions of their lives so that i don't think the law would be. however hot that guardiola ha circumstances are clearly you do not turn to crime. they are in fact peaceful and hardworking a huge contrast to their reputation as a community. i went back to see the guardian a hoss but they had already been moved on. i really hope one day about these proud and warm people will get the recognition and the support that they deserve.
