The Kachrawala

Does Right to Untouchability also apply to condemn the street dogs who group together to bark at the passing waste collector-kachrawala wearing torn soiled cloths?

But then these street dogs have a mind conditioning to bark at him. They find this guy in apathy to be an infiltrator. Simply speaking, these dogs judge him from his outlook!

They all group together and monitor him throughout the street. Wherever he stops, he is disgraced and the fellow humans watch all this in utter disregard. For a moment they understand that it's wrong, but they move on! So at one end there is a group of humans as spectators, at other end the group of dogs who are the voluntary guards and the marked infiltrator still manage to pick some waste from here and there. He also moves on. He is also conditioned with all this. It is a daily thing for him.

Waste pickers is a blessing in disguise; he is at least unburdening the streets from waste created by fellow humans. There are no rights to him on ground. He may be a migrant from another place far or near, maybe across the border, maybe without identity, may be hungry since days, he moves on. What makes him move on is to sustain in the life. He is a fighter. He fights daily, every moment.
