Dom workers at Varanasi's Manikarnika Ghat burn funeral pyres in temperatures up to 6,000 degrees Celsius. Shalok Chaudhry handles 100 bodies daily, suffering burns and breathing smoke. Research shows 76% of Dom workers drink alcohol before work to cope. Studies reveal caste discrimination causes mental health problems among marginalised communities, yet government health policies exclude caste-based data and mental health services remain unavailable.

00:00It's a discharge, a smoke, a smoke, a smoke.
00:04Who will smoke smoke?
00:06It will smoke smoke.
00:24I work with dead body and hardware.
00:27I work with dead body.
00:28We are called Kaludum,
00:30which is our father and father.
00:34It's our tradition.
00:35It's our tradition.
00:37That's why we don't see the people,
00:39who are far away from the people,
00:41who do not see the people.
00:43They do not see the people.
00:45But our work is our work.
00:47If we don't do it, who will do it?
00:49We don't have any problems with the body.
00:52We don't have any problems.
00:54We don't have any thoughts.
00:56We still do it.
00:58We're good.
01:00We still have all the problems.
01:02So that's what we have to do.
01:03We are working from the Kaliuram.
01:04We are working from Aoi Baba.
01:05In the house we have been dirty.
01:08Look, this part is an art.
01:11This is not a art work of being normal.
01:15We are so art.
01:17We have become a art.
01:20We often feel like we are being a waste.
01:23We have to take the water and we feel like a hot water.
01:29When we start to see the new details, we will go to the water.
01:33We get a lot of water and sometimes we get tired.
01:37We get a lot of problems.
01:40But we can't get any problems.
01:43The problem is that the people who live in the sun know that it is the same.
01:46We have a lot of people who have become a dead body.
01:52What will happen in the future?
01:55What will happen in the future?
01:57We are thinking about the dead body.
01:59We will have to look at the dead body.
02:02We have come to this world and live this world.
02:06This is not my land, we don't want to go anywhere.
02:16I don't know how to save my life, but my eyes are gone.
02:20I am a very powerful man.
02:22I have been taken by many difficulties.
02:28My mother was a very illiterate.
02:30My mother and my father had a little heart problem, and I had a $2,500,000 worth of money.
02:39In that time, my brothers and sisters were small.
02:42We had to make food.
02:45We had to prepare our children.
02:47We had to build our children's children.
02:49Then they went to school.
02:51Our mind is that we think everyone is in the home.
02:57We didn't tell anyone.
03:00We had to get the work.
03:03We were working for 2-4 days.
03:04We didn't get the money.
03:06We were working for this.
03:08But I had to get the money for two days.
03:11After a week, I had to get the money for 3 days.
03:14We had to pay the money.
03:16Our grandfather told us that we would have to go to school with a paddle.
03:22I said that the paddle is not good.
03:24My father, my mother, my father will hear me.
03:27They will tell me a lot.
03:29I thought that I have to say that I have to do my work.
03:34Everything is my understanding.
03:36I am not doing the wrong thing.
03:38I will earn money.
03:39I will earn money.
03:40If I will play a paddle,
03:41then someone will say that my father would play a paddle.
03:45I have no patience.
03:46But we also have to get the money.
03:50We will earn money.
03:51We are going to go to school with more money.
03:53That's why I had to pay the money for this study.
03:56If people aren't paying attention,
03:58then they will not earn money.
04:00But the money will earn money.
04:01I have never been paid for this study.
04:02But when I arrived in Kanaras,
04:06I have to go to school with a paddle.
04:08I have to go for a couple months.
04:09Then, I was going down for my life.
04:12I felt that the people who work, who work, will go to the hospital.
04:17That's why we have to drink in front of us.
04:20We have so much family in front of us.
04:22We have to eat eight people in front of us.
04:24We have to eat all the water.
04:32I have to work in Shivra.
04:35How did I get gas?
04:37Because of the gas, I got infected.
04:40I have to work in the hospital.
04:43I have to go into the hospital.
04:45I have to go into the hospital.
04:47I don't know if it's a hospital.
04:50I have to go into the hospital.
04:53I have to die until I die.
04:56I have no safety for any person.
04:58When we give a government, we don't have any problem.
05:01It's not a gas problem.
05:04It's not a problem.
05:06In my opinion, all are our elders who are working.
05:10Many persons have been living.
05:11Despite the illness, some people have never been like death.
05:15The Father used to have been dying.
05:17They had met a gas, died and had nothing to do.
05:21The father didn't think of it.
05:22The elder brother would have died of the hospital.
05:25When they were sick, they would die.
05:26Now it's difficult.
05:27It's still the same way.
05:28There is no one on this.
05:30There are some people who will do work and will give money for 10 days later.
05:36What will the money cost?
05:38If the children will go to the tuition, they will not give money.
05:42I mean, what can I do?
05:44A poor person.
05:46They are the people who are living in the world.
05:48We have to think about it.
05:50If we think about it, if we think about it,
05:52we will increase our attention to it.
05:54We can also increase our attention.
05:56Why do we have no tension?
05:58Why do we have a child?
06:00Mrs. has a disease for 24 hours.
06:02They don't come to sleep at night.
06:04I'm hungry.
06:06I'm hungry.
06:08I'm hungry.
06:10I'm hungry.
06:12I'm hungry.
06:14I'm hungry.
06:16Where will my child go?

06:22We will only do good work.
06:24We will do good work.
