The condition of our Dombari community is very bad.,Television and radio have snatched away our means of livelihood. We perform acrobatics but because of the circus and television which have reached even in remote corners and villages, nobody is interested in our performances. We do not get even a pittance, however hard we perform. People watch our shows but just for entertainment, they never pay us anything. They never bother about the fact- that we are hungry. Our profession is dying.
