Manu Smriti & caste system were created thousands of years ago. Until few hundred years ago, humans all over the world defecated in open areas – forests, roadsides, fields. In India, the European style toilet pits in houses were byproducts of colonialism.

1/n #ManualScavenging
Manual scavenging of night soil is a recent atrocity in India because toilet pits & man holes did not exist at the time of Maharishi Manu. So there has been misuse of Manu Smriti & caste system to cruelly exploit poverty stricken Indians.

2/n #ManualScavenging
Atrocious public infrastructure is cause of #ManualScavenging in 21st c. India. This social evil must be eradicated by drastically improving public infrastructure to global standards. Otherwise, poor Indians will still be forced into manual scavenging by corrupt contractors.
