Society rejects them even when their fathers leave the job

In a village in Odisha, 35 year old Tapan Kumar Gochchayat comes from a family of manual scavengers where his grandfather worked as a ‘safai karamchari’ all his life. Very early in life, Kumar decided not to go into the same profession. He worked hard to get an education and create a life of dignity for himself. But even today his caste and his family’s profession are his main identity. “I struggle to find a job because of my caste and no one would even rent a house to me after knowing my caste,” said Kumar.

“Manual scavenging refers to the practice of manually cleaning, carrying, disposing or handling in any manner, human excreta from dry latrines and sewers,” according to the United Nations. Manual scavenging in India is a caste based profession with castes that occupy the lowest position in the hierarchy taking up the work over generations.
