A friend in the tech field had to travel to India, and he described how at night a certain group (maybe the “untouchables”) would come out and clean up all the human feces from the sidewalks.
Absolutely gross; I love history, but will pass on visiting India - I’ll watch the documentaries instead.
I once watched a documentary about a man in India (an untouchable) whose job was to clear farmers’ fields of rats. That was his pay...the rats. He took them home to the wife to prepare. They said some could have rabies. They lived on rats. So sad. No opportunity for him or his family ever.
That culture (I realize many cultures there) do not think as we do.
