Transforming denial into deliberation: The case of manual scavenging (Bhanivi Saraf, Siddharth Verma, ORF)

While distributing the Swachh Survekshan Awards in November by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, President Ram Nath Kovind called manual scavenging a shameful practice, eradication of which is not only the responsibility of the government but also of the society. This is because manual scavenging is rooted in India’s historical system of hierarchy and exclusion: The caste system. As per recent data by the government, out of 43,797 identified manual scavengers, 42,000 belong to the Scheduled Castes (SC) or Dalits.
