Prejudice and Profession

The Most Disgusting and Dangerous Profession -- بھنگی
Not all minorities in Pakistan are bhangi but almost all bhangis are from minority.

This is the first video of our series named "Prejudice and Profession". The series is about how we are living in denial, while inbreeding prejudice. Usually when we speak about India, we in Pakistan feel a bit proud to explain how we have liberated ourselves from class system, but have we? We spoke to four different sanitary works, all four were them Christians, no we are not discriminating, we are just portraying how it is. If we wish to live denial, we can, but for how long? Speaking to them, we realized this job is not easy, this is not something everybody can do. It's not just dirties, it is deadly too. Sewage pipes are filled with toxic gases. Hence, most of them get sick, most of them get blind, some of them die. What else can they do? They are poor, they are minority, and they are stuck in this vicious cycle of life, where they have to do what they have to do, because of just who they are. Sadly, no government will do something about inbred racism in all of us, no government will help the minorities come out of this cycle of getting jobs by their religion/race. No government will help them with at least safety equipment for them... but what surprised us, was that even Christians don't really help their own community? WE WERE NOT LIBERATED, WE JUST FOUND NEW SUPERIOR RACE IN PAKISTAN
