| Abstract | It is very hard not to feel less human while talking about manual scavenging. More than three lakh people, mostly women, are consigned to this inhuman occupation in India. In India it is illegal to employ or to indulge in manual scavenging. But in practice, it is very much present across the country irrespective of states’ performance on social and economic development parameters. [authors abstract] |
