MODERATORS
What do you mean by that question?
Why would you dive into a sewer without protective gear
Scheduled Caste systems. They don't have a choice.
So people are forced to swim in poo without protective gear?
Yes, decades of systemic subjugation and poverty. When survival is at stakes, people tend to do the extreme stuff, too
And for the system, it's probably cheaper to just let it happen instead of trying to lift these poor people up
Is there any work towards a workers union?
The (upper-caste) people in charge are often itching to acquaint people from the lower strata with the business end of a noose at the drop of a hat, so that tends to hamper efforts towards a workers' union -- but even so, there are some pretty significant efforts here and there
If it's anything like I see in America, people who aren't willing to be taken advantage of are seen as weak and not knowing their place.
