Son of a Sweeper
|
|
| In India, being the son of a sweeper (the lowest caste in Indian society) is an almost certain sentence to a life of manual street labor, such as cleaning up the human waste left on the train tracks and sewers. To many of the upper castes, the people doing this work are invisible and the problem of discrimination is unrecognized by those who are privileged and have never faced prejudice themselves. Vimal Kimar decided to solve the problems of his sweeper community by founding the Movement for Scavenger Community. Together, they are using their own inspiration, ideas and funds to work on solutions for the problems caused by being an outcaste. As Vimar Kamal continues his work for a just society in India, he takes inspiration from Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote " True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice." |
