14 kms from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, in an inter-college in village Anjan Shaheed is the centre of one of the most powerful community dialogues. Established in 2011, Voice of Azamgarh 90.8 MHz is the only community radio channel in Azamgarh. All the radio jockeys are women who broke out from tradition and patriarchy to make their voice heard.

Vidhya Rajput’s story as a transwoman is a story about love.

The right to work and identity.

“Across the country, the same people of the same caste are doing the same exploitative work, because manual scavenging has its roots in caste,” says Sudharak Olwe, documentary photographer, who has been awarded a Padma Shri for his empathetic work. “If you look at their stories, in each case, it is the wife and the children who suffer the most. Eventually the wife has to go back to cleaning toilets.” Despite claims by #SwachhBharat, life for manual scavengers continues to be a descent into darkness and death across India. Powerful images by Sudharak Olwe and Palini Kumar highlight the dehumanized work of manual scavengers and the caste stigma they face. “There are strict laws and a strong judgement from the Supreme Court of India, but at the ground level, the inhuman practice continues,” says Raj Bhushan of Water Aid India.

This film traces the circularity in the pattern of migration in the lives of workers who hail from north Bihar’s Araria district and work as skilled construction labour building Gurdwaras in Punjab. These are people who build the country from below, yet suffer a social and political exclusion that invisibles them. The protagonist Sikendra is a young man whose life, loves and aspirations are divided between his two homes- one where his family is and the other, that his search for livelihood compels him to accept.
