Question

in which town were people freed from manual scavenging came to be addressed as brahmins?

Answer 1

alwar in rajasthan were freed from manual scavenging

Answer 2

There are around 1.2 million “manual scavengers” in India, 90 per cent of whom are women. Workers often rewarded by a few crumbs of stale bread and or a few rupees – never more than €10 a year.

They also endure side-effects like constant nausea and headaches, respiratory and skin diseases, anaemia and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Innately demeaning, the practice also reinforces the deeply ingrained Hindu trope that 167 million Indians are “untouchable”, or innately polluted from birth.

Rajasthan is one of the places where manual scavenging came to be addressed as brahmins.
