Manual scavenging violates the dignity of humans. A fight to regain the lost dignity and humanity by the safai karamcharis, official scavengers. Posted on 25 Oct, 2010 01:29 PM

Manual scavenging is the most obnoxious and inhuman practice violating the dignity and human personhood of safai karmacharis. It involves the engagement or employment of sections of people to manually dispose human excreta from dry latrines with bare minimum aids such as scrappers, brooms and baskets.
