So, you only want devices to "aid these heroes". You are comfortable with providing equipment to make their job easier, but God forbid, these "heroes" must not abandon the practice of cleaning sewers, right?
The reason this Tambrahm guy is shamelessly calling the victim a "hero" is because he thinks such a job is inevitable; someone HAS to do it. His Brahmin conditioning will never allow him to think "Why must such a job exist? Why do only certain communities do it?"
It has been said enough that manual scavenging is a social problem, more than a technological one. Even if devices are invented, who will operate it? The caste society condemns certain communities to certain jobs forever. No amount of technological advances will solve that.
One doesn't need to be "woke" to know all this. All you need is basic empathy and awareness of the society. But, how can we expect a Brahmin dude to show the bare minimum sensitivity to caste issues?
@bahujans_unite
Every City has people who has teams maintaining the sewer lines.
Provide them with a higher salary say 30k or more, even 50k and you will have people from different communities applying for the job.
Better equipments and training.
Life long free health treatment.
And a 1 crore insurance in case of death.
The solution to eradicate caste based discrimination when it comes to scavenging lies in the economic environment you create IMO.
