Desperate to Survive
For hundreds of years baazigars were entertainers. Today they live in abject poverty, without any state protection. They are no longer into traditional occupation, and are engaged in petty jobs, reports Ashutosh Sharma from Jammu
Baazigiri has died a tragic death at the hands of modernity, and baazigars have turned into paupers over the years. For hundreds of years they were entertainers. They made people laugh through comedy, inspired awe with breathtaking stunts and enthralled them with their daredevil gymnastics.
