#Pasmanda #Bhisti कोलकाता शहर के बीचों बीच सेंट्रल अवेन्यू में पसमांदा भिश्ती अब्दुर रज़्ज़ाक़ से मुलाक़ात हुई। जो सुबह सुबह अपने काम पर जा रहे थे। मौजूदा प्रदेश सरकार और पूर्वर्ती प्रदेश सरकार मुस्लिम तुष्टिकरण के लिए जाने जाते हैं लेकिन बहुत अफसोस है कि सदियों पुरानी यह जल-व्यवस्था आज भी वैसे ही चल रही है। आखिर कौन लोग हैं जो मुस्लिम तुष्टिकरण का सारा लाभ ले रहे हैं और पसमांदा अपने सदियो पुराने हालात से आज भी दो चार है।

As a part of #DigiStoryFest organized by @Europeanaeu and @theheritagelab , I've created this animated short by putting together #OpenGLAM images of Company Paintings using #OpenSource tools. More about the story of a #Bhisti in the article here: https://t.co/PAWltjl0cA

many of such jobs are lost in time. Still few left but not much visible. earlier they used to be very much part of our daily life. evenings & mornings #Bhisti used to sprinkle water on both sides of roads. later provided water for drinking at road-markets-bus stops-railwaystation
