The fleet of boats that you are watching, is Baidas’ fleet of boats. They have no home, live on boats, eat on boats, and also sleep on boats. Crowding the boat, they wander around the neighboring localities in search of their livelihood. Their women mainly sell varieties of products from village to village. In English, ‘Baidas’ are called ‘gypsy’ or ‘water gypsy’. Apart from selling goods, they also treat various diseases with herbal medicines. In these boatmen, you can also see the magic of witchcraft from someone of these Baidas. When you travel to Bhola-Barisal by launch, you will see the speedboats flying past beside the launch in a whirlwind speed.
