Interview with...   

Boatman

. The boatmen are as the fishermen, the workers of Ganga. To work on the holy river is an honour but this job is not permitted to everyone. You have to belong to the boatmen caste (Jati).

. These men, proud of their work, often know very well their city and their history.

. Anup is one of them.
