“Manual Scavenging” Caste and Ignorance of Authority

P. ALAN PAUL

Abstract

Dalit community people are considered as outcasts according to the Hindu Varna system, and they are treated violently everywhere. Manual scavenging is a degraded work that is assigned only for Dalit community people, especially women. Many Indian villages expect Dalit women to do manual scavenging, and 'upper caste' people prevent them from getting other jobs. Equal status for them in society is demanded, and the government of India is responsible for protecting the oppressed class from the atrocities that happen against them. They are suppressed in all ways and are dehumanized. This paper will look into the misguidance done by the authority itself, which leads to the failure in implementing the laws that protect the oppressed class.
