An incident that made me think very much...Click read more...!
I have witnessed this incident while i was going to a near by store...To get provisions that my parents have asked me to get them....Actual scene was a conversation between the shopkeeper and a scavanger(sanitation care taker)of my street.....
Actually that guy(may be around 45-50 years) worked all day long,and was tired...So he went to a shop nearby....At this time i was buying some provisions.....That
clearer approached the shop keeper and asked for a packet of water....And while receiving that packet of water,he handed the money to the shopkeeper...Immediately the shopkeeper didnt take the money directly bt instead he asked the guy to keep it there on the table and leave...Later on after he left,the shopkeeper started to clean the table mainly at the region where the person had kept the money...I was astonished by this...the shopkeeper started saying that THE PERSON WORKS WITH GARBAGE,UNTIDY FELLOW...IF HIS HAND WAS PLACED ON THE TABLE,IT MIGHT GET SPOILT...SAYING THUS HE STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF UNTOUCHABLE NATURE...
I really didnt like this attitude...so i straight away told the shopkeeper that his attitude was wrong...and that never act in such a manner once again...I also asked him a question...If all the cleaners and sanitary caretakers were to stop working for a couple of days then what would be the situations..??Its because of their sacrifise,their work and their dedication that we are leading a healthy life..Except for a few,they are truely dedicated for the welfare of the public isnt it..??Then why to treat them as untouchables...??
Never treat people as untouchables by seeing the work they do/by the caste they are or by their status...remember that they are humanbeings like us,but just leading that particular life becoz of the fate....!
Please think wise before saying anything..think once before acting and before behaving to anyone..Coz your behaviour might be hurting sometimes... Please understand what i wanted to say coz i know i am unclear in this matter...Didnt know the way to convey the message...Dont mind...Keep rocking...
