Most Indian clothes are to delicate to be washed by machines. Saris are made of silk.

It is because of the low cost of manpower and subsequently laundering.Most Indian families can't put in the one time time cost of acquiring a washing machine due to their lower ability to make bigger purchases.

Washer men like cobblers & barbers are a community and an industry.

This is how it has been for centuries, even now such ' washing points' called Dhobi Ghats exist . Despite the huge textile mills the village weaver still exists, this is quite like that.

This is reducing gradually but as a source of livelihood it does exist , the turn around of clothes washed in this manner is longer but is not a concern for those who engage them.
