I write this with a specific context-
For 3 days the sewage line in saket, delhi was choked. A small regular problem and awful smell with a road flooded with human awe's of morning.
There were 3 men from Delhi sewage workers I presume, who were working tirelessly in an effort for 3 days to clear the line. This is about them, their conditions of work and their social nature.
Whatever I have seen one among them got into the sewage point in a underwear huffing and puffing barely keeping the drain water below mouth & doing his stuff in there for half an hour or so. Do u imagine barebody man in a 50 cm dia manhole with all the stinks of 100+ families flowing in!!! Seeing will be worth convincing to do something for him.

Above link is a bare all article and details some of these safai karmacharis lives and a video.
One thing I wonder is a cleaner gets RS 9000 regularised job after absolutely compulsory bribing of around 1 lakh - keeps bribing for medicines, keeps happing for promotion paying whatever he saves off his paltry salary. Can u believe Indians - it is same for years and still not changed, they are the poorest men bribing their way out But fate isn't so blessing after all.

Plzz follow the above article to find social conditions of safaiworkers in India- a wonderful piece. Most people won't know a thing of what these people basically poorest or majority dalits get into once they pick up this job:
People won't let them drink water with respect offering water in old mugs or worn out bottles.
People don't hesitate to distance away when he is near and often keep hands on noses as if they stink always.
Social acceptability is so low that these people seldom have friends outer than the lowest class, often have find difficult to graduate to levels where man is not looked upon as untouchable...Though majority of people have a gud behaviour but there is always some in family or some in the road to give a look awful for a person to feel for himself. We need to end this
WE SERIOUSLY NEED TO END THE WAY IN WHICH THE LOWEST CLASSES AND CASTES BLEND IN AND MAKE ANOTHER URBAN SECTION OF PEOPLE BEREFT OF OUR RESPECTS WHICH THEY MOST DESERVE .
I remember in my college days the whole Street was bleeding with human faces and drain water with a smell so irritating that u shall get seek in hours . And I remember my friend who shouted chiii with expressions of anger @ the 2 drainmen cleaning up. One of them eventually asked him why such a face !
This is not distinction God crwated, but this is just lack of awareness, overlaps of education- planners & unwanted luxury of society which has learnt to pay for cleaning their every shit.
Dear friends, lets put some efforts into reaching out , Dear Govt. Let's give them modern solutions and root out corruption from these people, Dear Indians Lets check if we are just replacing Caste with Class because basically it all started in history with equality as vernas but u see the corrosion it has done.. Let's learn from the mistake of our forefathers and uplift these poor people who work hard -
Provide them body covers of polythene, sanitary gloves, medicine free of cost at all stores, and proper infusion into social events for a start.
Wouldn't cost a fraction !!!
