In the Terai, the Haruwa-Charuwa system which employs many bonded labourers includes indebted men called "haruwa"s, who are employed to take care of the farms, mainly sowing, growing and harvesting crops in payment of debt or under unfair contracts, whose wife and children are also forced to work for the landlord, as domestic workers, cattle rearers and helpers in the farms, and children, usually of the "haruwa"s, employed as "charuwa"s, who take care of the cattle, cleaning the shed, milking and selling milk, gathering grass and fodder, taking the cattle for grazing ("charuwa" means "one who grazes cattle") and even helping out elsewhere when not busy with the cattle.
