Caste, Inspite of Technology, will Perpetuate Manual Scavenging

"It's struggle, struggle and struggle till we are recognised as human beings".
Interview with Bezwada Wilson
30 Aug 2017
Interviewed by P.G. Ambedkar, Produced by Newsclick Team

Bezwada Wilson speaks to Newsclick  on the Delhi Government's plan to completely mechanise sewer cleaning in the capital city. He says it was Safai Karmachari Andolan's intervention to involve scientists from Hindustan Aeronautical Limited (HAL) to help prevent the deaths of sanitation workers in sewers. It is not the PMOs initiative as they claim it.
