Book excerpt: Constitutionally Banned In 1993, Manual Scavenging Persists With Active State Support. In Andhra Pradesh, Home To Over Two Lakh Dry Latrines, The Safai Karamchari Andolan Led By Bezwada Wilson Went Around Demolishing The Foundations Of Their Indignity. Dismissing Talk Of `Rehabilitation` Of Scavengers `Amelioration` Of Their Conditions, And The Gandhian Approach Of Bestowing `Nobility` On The Profession, The Ska Seeks Nothing Short Of Abolition Of Dry Toilets. A Single Dry Toilet Anywhere In India Will Instantly Create A Caste Of Manual Scavengers. This Tract Documents The Efforts Of The Ska, Chronicles A Community In Transition And Offers A Historical Understanding Of The Problem. It Calls For Immediate Action Against The Shit Around Us. The Safai Karamcharis Do It Because They Are Forced To, But We Tolerate And Encourage Manual Scavenging Because We Are Lesser Human Beings.
