In addition to data from primary sources, the paper also contains data from secondary sources, specifically a literature review. Looking at Indian civilization, one finds that even though everything is automated in the modern world, cleaning is still done by hand. In India, women who work in sanitation have frequently gone unappreciated and unheeded because of their gender and caste (Scheduled Caste, also known as "Dalits," which literally translates to "broken people" in Hindi). Despite the fact that sanitation workers- women in particular- have always been essential to human civilization, opinions about their importance have only lately shifted in India due to the COVID-19 pandemic's early 2020 emergence. In fact, conditions for India's sanitation workers had gotten worse during the first two months of the pandemic and the nation's lockdown. Women who work in sanitation face numerous obstacles, including psychological, sociocultural, and physical ones, which got worse when the pandemic hit. Because they are women and members of a specific caste that is marginalized and oppressed in Indian society, sanitation workers—women in particular—have historically been overlooked and ignored in India. As a result, they have been alternating between neglect and public amnesia, and this particular fact has had a significant impact on their identity throughout the pandemic, which actually needs to be explored anthropologically. Therefore, this endeavour would address a number of the issues that women sanitation workers encountered throughout the pandemic.
