Agra Cantonment Train Station

This was a very busy place. As were left the train we saw a large group of men marching and shouting slogans. They assembled outside the station and continued to chant. It appeared to be people dissatisfied with the government. While we were leaving, a soldier (they are everywhere in train stations and air ports) reached out and touched Sarah's arm. I guess to see if she was real. Of course, to whom do you complain??









We were almost immediately beset by beggars. They tend to be very aggressive and simple "Nos" don't work. Here a boy beats on the car window until we drive off. There are also disabled people and mothers holding babies who approach you as well. All of them are begging for food.
