India's sex trade exposed
On the streets of Kamathipura young women stand ready and available, looking to lure their next customer. They pose, they smile, some wave. They look terribly young, their faces heavy with make-up. Many are dressed in Western clothes, others in traditional saris.

There is the hustle and chaos of the traffic, the clogged roads, the constant noise. And there is terrible sadness too.
