Untouchable: an Indian life history

---

Freeman, an academic type, in the course of finding an informant who would be willing, for payment, to spend long hours talking and several months engaged in an activity that might be considered odd or even idle to his peers, came to undertake this work with Muli who turns out to be (in plain language) a pimp. It may be because Muli desires above all other things being connected with people of the highest castes that he cultivates delicacy when speaking of unsavory topics like "professional" sex, unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. He is a very gossipy man so he'll tell you everything he knows about his customers, his employees, and everyone else in his village, and while he excuses himself much, he seems never to cheat us by leaving out bad information about himself.
