A village of sex workers

A village by name Run Gaon in Lalitpur district is very small in size but famous in whole Bundelkhand area because of the two reasons. One is folk dancers and another is sex workers. A special caste by name Bedian (Gnadharva Sub caste) is used to make livelihood by folk dance which is called “Rai Dance". But now villagers are thinking, now livelihood cannot be run smoothly only by folk dance. So, many families indulge in sex work. And Thakurs and Yadavs used to make Sex Slave women of Bedian caste. This is
more interesting that only women of this caste are taking care of livelihood for whole family. Mehroni's Madavra Block's Run Gaon is main residential area of this caste (in MP also). However, this village has all shades of life. Pradhan of this village belongs to this caste. Her name is F**** Bai and she is illiterate. She was also a sex slave of a Thakur. But she realized the problem of her occupation. In 2000 Mehroni's Madavra Pachayat constituency was reserved for SC women and she filled application in state election commission. She won the election with only 600 Votes (in 40 villages). Second time she won (in 2005) with 1900 votes but in different constituency. This village has Lodhi (obc)- 400 Votes, Kushwaha (obc) 400 Votes, Bunkar (Genral) 150 Votes , Ahirwar (SC) 500 votes, Bakmiki (SC) 80, Barar (SC) 90 votes, Gandharv (SC) 100 votes, Prajapati (Kumhar) 25 votes, Khatic 70 votes. 2200 total votes. Total Population is 3500.

A ball changed fate of village
This is the story of India and it’s people। At the border of Uttar Pradesh, most populous state of India, and Madhya Pradesh, a small village merely has
significance in more than one billion populations. But this village by name Bhartia (Lalitpur district) becomes famous for passion of a game. In the village a temple was bone of contention between two caste groups, Thakur’s and Yadav’s. Three times people clashed for the temple. The temple was closed but a game changed the fate of village. Kids of whole village got their love in cricket. They started playing with each other and
in 2006 they organized their own team. In 2007 Ram Cricket Kilb (they wrote club as kilb) played first match with neighboring village. After winning one tournament within six month kids from both the rival families become friend. And they worship in the temple together. This incidence was a milestone in the process of peace in the village. After one year gradualy families reached on a resolution and panchayat set different timing for worship. Now, there is no incidence of quarrel in the village since one and half year.
