Abstract

We are presently living in a world that is striving for development with each flicker of our eyelids. The world might be changing, but a large portion of the discernments are not. This article addresses the profundity of the most sensitive issue of basic freedom infringement of ‘Manual Scavengers’. In the rouse of basic rights evolving widely, there is ceaseless conversation about laws on manual scavenging being based on the convergence of caste and labour. Conducted among 152 women manual scavengers in urban Chennai, this article features the caste-based act of manual scavenging, which is a type of constrained work in the pretence of caste assignment, the types of caste discriminations faced and the challenges and factors associated with it. This study also recommends suggestions for the elimination of the endlessly evil practice of manual scavenging. The personal encounters of manual scavengers in Chennai illustrate the corresponding cycle of caste discrimination and untouchability.

泰米尔纳德邦城市的人工清理:达利特妇女在种姓歧视方面的不可磨灭的污点
我们现在生活在一个用我们的每一次眨眼来争取发展的世界。世界可能在变化,但很大一部分的洞察力却不变。本文探讨了“人工拾荒者”侵犯基本自由这一最敏感问题的深度。在广泛发展的基本权利领域,关于人工拾荒的法律是基于种姓和劳工的融合而不断出现的讨论。本文对金奈城市的152名女性拾荒者进行了调查,介绍了基于种姓的拾荒行为,这是一种以种姓分配为名义的受约束的工作,所面临的种姓歧视类型以及与之相关的挑战和因素。本研究也提出了一些建议,以消除无休止的人工清除的邪恶做法。钦奈拾荒者的个人遭遇说明了相应的种姓歧视和贱民循环。
