Sewer Cleaners Wanted in Pakistan: Only Christians can apply

Don't blame the messenger. It's an article in NYT. From the interview it seems that they are singled out for this profession because of their religion. In a recent movie “Article 15" — their plight was highlighted in India also - especially in the rural areas.


By the NY Times. Makes sense.
Fix your own country....what do u do to the poor dalat. At least we say it's wrong. For you persecution of the dalat is a religious duty

Except that, as given in the article

"Although India has outlawed caste-based discrimination with mixed success, in Pakistan it is almost encouraged by the state."

We see all over the internet how you indians love your laws. How your police stands by and watches murders of muslim and dalat alike at the hands of brahmin and RSS. So spare us the nonsense when you talk of the great india. Ask you mothers and sisters how they fear rape where they are not even safe from family members. Monkeys like you dance at every banana thrown

As the article says, our success against discrimination is mixed. At least we are trying. Your state encourages it, even as per the article.

Don't insult the messenger.

It's hard for them to digest facts. Discrimination in India is reported widely because it is against the law. It seems it is part of the law there - so what's there to report?

This is bad. This is happening again and again. How can this happen in Islamic society?
Christians are related to this profession. But not all are. Now a days they are Muslims too.
Its actually a punjab problem. We also call them choras. Chora actually is a low caste Hindus in punjab that converted to Christianity and do cleaning adn sweage works for the British and from the the desi babus got that terminology going.
This is serious. It is giving country a bad name. And it's not even a problem. You just have to be sensitive about it. And be careful writing next time. It's the newspapers, its their problem. When asked for sweapers for them it means cleaners.

I can't figure it out there are 4 colours then how how come tricolor:cuckoo:
Because the 3 colors - Saffron, white & green symbolize something. Blue itself doesn't symbolize anything. Rather, the symbol is the Ashok Chakra.

This should be highlighted.

"Although India has outlawed caste-based discrimination with mixed success, in Pakistan it is almost encouraged by the state."
we are not forcing anybody to apply for this job but in Supawa India The manual carrying of human feces is not a form of employment, but an injustice akin to slavery. People work as manual scavengers because their caste in India is expected to fulfill this role, and are typically unable to get any other work.
HRW’s 96-page report, Cleaning Human Waste: ‘Manual Scavenging,’ Caste, and Discrimination in India, is based on more than 100 interviews with manual scavengers, and documents how these wretched people are coerced to collect human excrement on a daily basis, carrying it away in nothing more protective than a cane basket.
It is one of the most prominent forms of discrimination against Dalits, and it is an Indian central Gov policy to the violation of human rights.

As the article states, such things are illegal in India and at the social level India has had mixed success with enforcing the law. Whereas, the Pakistani state encourages such discrimination. That's the difference.

As a Christian, I humbly decline :)
