On the move: Indian nomadic shepherds leading their sheep along a road on the outskirts of Faridabad, some 30kms from New Delhi. The shepherds trek long distances in search of pasture for their 2,500 sheep which they make a living from by selling the male lambs and their wool. While the men graze and milk the sheep, the familiy’s women cook, fetch water and churn butter, and move from camp to camp year-round, stopping for baths and laundry only when they find accessible water, and eventually make their way home to the western state of Rajasthan. The family earns approximately 250,000 rupees (RM14,716) every six months. Photos: AFP
