Sue visits Varanasi, a beautiful, bustling, but stinking metropolis like no other place on earth
Sue visits Varanasi, a beautiful, bustling, but stinking metropolis like no other place on earth.
To die here is a great honour, and death is quite literally in the air, as 150 bodies a day are cremated on pyres on the river banks.
The constant onslaught of this crazy city nearly breaks Sue, but it’s not a place she will ever forget.
In nearby Deura, she meets the Green Gang, a bunch of women who roam the village to protect others from domestic violence.
