Raju the boatman
Raju is a boatman on the Ganga in Varanasi, India. He works for Anilsan, the boat owner. In January the boatowners and boatmen went on strike for around 10 days opposing a state tax recently introduced on usage of boats on the Ganga - big demonstrations and rallies ensued. Finally the issue was resolved and they could work again. No work means no money in India. Raju is another very, very genuine man with a big heart.
