“In Bangladesh, in the Das community of Atharobari, Iswarganj, Mymensingh, almost every man is involved in the profession of swine herding, a job given only to the men lowest in the caste system. Swineherders lead an unusual gypsy life, bringing their herd of pigs to various places to feed, constantly moving and living in tents of bamboo and plastic paper. They usually stay three to four days in each place, and may be away from their village and family from a day to a week at a time.”
