Snake charmers, have used snakes to earn a living, for generations. The snake charmers are often cruel to the snakes, resorting to techniques such as defanging the snake or blocking the venom ducts, which causes pain to the snake and also affects its ability to survive in the wild. Their occupation tends to be banned as the use of wild animals is prohibited under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Then the 'A Hundred Charmers' project and band were born. This project is growing and the band has already performed in India and abroad and given a sense of self respect to a community that was hounded by enforcement agencies. The snake charmers of today are open to change, but the government needs to offer them alternate livelihoods if it wants them to abide by the law. This footage is p
