Urban Gypsies

Around twenty to thirty families live in abject poverty at Lunawa. They eke out a living by sharpening knives. Some of them were snake charmers but they have been thrown out of their jobs as keeping snakes has been banned. No one seems to be responsible for their welfare. Pix. by Dimuthu Premarathne.
