a devotee the system was outlawed 36 years ago but the bomb is not enforced i'm told about 300000 sangley we are going to have a diocese used to perform important religious toss in temples and enjoy the high social status nowadays it's very different it almost always means a life of prostitution at the margins of society it. the last remnant of the system's former meaning a small shrine. the temple where shabnam was inducted as far away as are her parents she still supports them with a large part of her meager earnings it's a cruel system that oppresses women shop radha tells me about as she's a devil as well as a temple priest knowing that. when we started to serve tea we came here and ended up as prostitutes we've never liked having sex with clients but at least our parents are doing well and have something to eat by then and then when. shabnam
