You'd think they could at least get ahold of a coal shovel or snow shovel or something better.

Re: News Report: Campaign to Clean Up India
The occupation of sanitation work is intrinsically linked with caste in India. All kinds of cleaning are considered lowly and are assigned to people from the lowest rung of the social hierarchy. In the caste-based society, it is mainly the Dalits who work as sanitation workers - as manual scavengers, cleaners of drains, as garbage collectors and sweepers of roads. It was estimated in 2019 that between 40 and 60 percent of the 6 million households of Dalit sub-castes are engaged in sanitation work. The most common Dalit caste performing sanitation work is the Valmiki (also Balmiki) caste. no wonder suicide rate is high there. |

Re: News Report: Campaign to Clean Up India
As soon as you get off the plane when arriving in India, you go *sniff sniff* I smell shit. Eventually, you get kinda used to it, if you are staying in India for a while. On the way home, the plane's HVAC system allows you to breathe somewhat clean air and you lose the shit smell that enveloped you. Then you get home and open up your suitcase and smell shit again, because the shitair has permeated into the fibers of all of your clothing.
