  • Building Life-Affirming Communities: Face to Face with the Many Poor and the Many Faiths in Asia Manual Scavengers in India
    Building Life-affirming Communities: Face To Face with the many poor and the many faiths in Asia Manual Scavengers in India Why should other people remove another people’s shit? -Bezwada Wilson Introduction Manual scavenging is a lifting and removal of human excreta in India. There are two ways of doing scavenging. Firstly, it is trough dry toilets, where human excreta is left on a stone, plate, mud, or in a bucket. The scavengers must remove the excreta to a place of disposal. Secondly, scavengers must clean sewage pits, both in private homes and in cities. While private pits are cleaned under cover of darkness, it is a common sight to find men opening manholes to go down and manually clean sewers. However, manual scavenging was banned by a formal Act of parliament in 1993. This paper focuses on the abuse and discrimination of the so-called Dalits. It raises the awareness of human rights and the respect of the Imago Dei in the so-called ‘Dalits’ people, if one look at them must see God in their lives. The paper will use Bezwada Wilson’s oral lecture presented in March 2019 in Delhi, India on the manual scavenging dilemma faced by the Dalits. Who are the Scavengers? Scavengers are the people of low-caste, the so-called ‘Dalits’ in particular. According to Hindi social hierarchy they are untouchables. Of course, manual scavenging and untouchability is a caste discrimination. The Dalits are forced to have least desirable occupations such as cleaning, sweeping, leatherwork, removal of human excreta, removal of human and cattle corpses etc.
