Ghat Worker
The Stories of Varanasi
We were born here and have been doing this work for generations. We are happy with this
work, because the truth is, everyone has to come here one day to die. People have been
coming here to be cremated for over three thousand years. Crying is forbidden here because
everyone knows that they also have to leave this place and go, so we don’t mourn over lost
relatives. If we cry the soul of the relative will not leave earth. I am happy because I was born in
this place, where people attain their salvation.
