Being cremated at Manikarnika Ghat, on Ganga's banks in Varanasi is the ideal end of any Hindu devotee, as this is believed to lead a soul to Moksha, out of rebirth's cycle. Doms, a particular section of untouchables, undertake the duty of death bodies' burning. An obscure Dom kingdom survives since thousands in Varanasi around this lucrative business and, as in every Kingdom, here there are masters and servants too, both dealing with death as it is: a mere matter of predestination. Durga Prasad is the Dom Raj servant. His main duty is doing housework in his owner's house. He's still young, and he can just work 9-10 days a month at the pyres earning a few dollars to be given to his family in the countryside. But his destiny seems to be unquestionable: breathing the burning flesh's smoke, he'll give a way to Moksha to thousands of souls, till his last day will also come. Worldwide, there are at least 250 million children between 5 and 15 years who work. Almost half is occupied full time. By some statistics shows that 61% of child labor is concentrated in Asia. With its 44 million child workers, India holds the world record of child labor.
