A group of women, all pavement dwellers from an area of Calcutta called Raja Bazaar, who I spoke to at length before the rally.  They explained why they are here, detailing their various injustices at the hands of the government.  They are a group that The Calcutta Samaritans (TCS) has been working with for about 2 years, helping them get ration cards, birth certificates for their children and enrolling their kids in schools.  Their occupations: rag pickers, paper sorters and one vegetable seller.
