Answer:
Explanation:
Gandhiji had seen the poor condition of the cities in South Africa as well as in Bombay. The condition of the untouchables were bad but that of the Bhangi's were worse. Seeing them eat surrounded by filth and carrying night soil on a basket over their heads was heart breaking. Gandhi did all that he could to improve their living condition. He even came down to the streets and did sweeping and cleaning work himself.
He even encouraged the orthodox Brahmins to exclude him from their society. He organised speeches and organizations only at the expense of the untouchables. He believed that Bhangi's were not to be looked down upon. They were doing indispensable social work and deserved to be respected. Their condition improved a little due to Gandhi Ji's efforts and determination. He wanted to live like them during his last few days. He had spent many days in a Bhangi's house in Bombay. He felt that the plight of the Bhangi's were worst. They were forced to work like this.
Bhangi's were looked down upon. They earned a few copper coins and were looked as dirt by the upper castes. It was seen as a forced hired labour. No one even considered it as social work. It was due to Gandhi's efforts that their living conditions improved a little. The Bhangi's sacrificed their dignity to keep streets clean. They worked tirelessly but had no praises. Gandhi felt that it took more courage to be a scavenger than to win a Victoria Cross. Once a foreigner had asked him about what he would do if he became the Viceroy of India for a day.
Gandhi had replied, "I shall clean the Augean stables of the scavengers near the Viceroy site". Then the foreigner asked him again that what he would do if his post gets extended by a day. Again Gandhi replied, " The very same work shall I do the next day"
