Manual scavenging

Manual scavenging is an extreme evil still prevailing in independent India. People referred to as "Scavengers" who belong to the arunthathiyar community are forced to do this in spite of the Indian Government passing legislation in 1993 to prevent manual scavenging. Arunthathiyars work as Man hole scavengers, Manual Scavengers, Cobblers and Pickers. The law has not been implemented fully so far.
