Outrage on our television channels is something that has becomes really common, it is a nightly phenomenon. We love to get angry and we love to get outraged over all sorts of reasons most of which perhaps really doesn't deserve the level of airtime that it receives. But this is a theme we should be outraged about, and we should go on talking about it unless something is done to change it. On this week's episode of The Big Fight we will discuss the inhuman practice of manual scavenging. The lives it affects, the lives it takes and what can we do as a society to rid ourserlves of this practice that is steeped in caste bias.
