"When Papa went down into the gutter, he took off his clothes & left the phone. After he died, I've taken his phone.Every day after #school I look at his pictures," says 9 yr old Amit whose father was killed cleaning #septictanks in a mall without any protective gear. #FathersDay 
Chandan's employers not only forced him in this illegal situation, but attempted to distort the postmortem report. Rs 10 lakhs was given to the family according to a Supreme Court directive, but the only job offered to his wife,Putul,was the same one that claimed Chandan's life.
Putul was compelled to take up the offer, to secure a better future for Amit and herself, & fight off the shackles of caste for her son. Amit, on his part is resolved to "become an engineer & develop technology that will prevent humans cleaning gutters."ruralindiaonline.org/articles/no-li…
