  • 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.

  • Manual Scavenging in India Today the State & Urba
    (DRAFT ONLY) Sixth Critical Studies Conference, Calcutta Research Group, Kolkata, 23-25 August 2017 The State and Urban Violence Against Marginalized Castes: Manual Scavenging in India Today V. Ramaswamy & V. Srinivasan “Few object to liberty in the sense of a right to free movement, in the sense of a right to life and limb. There is no objection to liberty in the sense of a right to property, tools, and materials, as being necessary for earning a living, to keep the body in a due state of health. Why not allow a person the liberty to benefit from an effective and competent use of a person's powers? The supporters of Caste who would allow liberty in the sense of a right to life, limb, and property, would not readily consent to liberty in this sense, inasmuch as it involves liberty to choose one's profession. But to object to this kind of liberty is to perpetuate slavery. For slavery does not merely mean a legalized form of subjection. It means a state of society in which some men are forced to accept from others the purposes which control their conduct. This condition obtains even where there is no slavery in the legal sense. It is found where, as in the Caste System, some persons are compelled to carry on certain prescribed callings which are not of their choice.” – B.R. Ambedkar, Annihilation of Caste. The state & urban violence The call for papers for this conference included as a possible panel / theme, the subject: “The role of the state in urban violence”.
