Roy of the Ravers



'I'd say the biggest indictment of all this is that we are still a country, a culture, a society which continues to nurture and practice the notion of untouchability. While our economists number crunch and boast about the growth rate, a million people-human scavengers-earn their living carrying several kilos of other peoples shit on their heads every day. And if they didn't carry other people's shit on their heads they'd starve to death. Some fucking super power this is.'
