Arundhati Roy asks "What is wrong with Indian "democracy" ? and shows why capitalist "democracy" ... isn't democratic. It is the emptying out of democracy, the dismantlement of democracy, by the rich, from the bottom. The daily injustice ... [includes] "more than a million people earning their living by carrying other people's shit on their head." This is the real face of capitalist "liberalism" in India.

Realistically, a million people in India would be carrying shit on their heads for quite a while under any system. Sewage systems don't build themselves spontaneously upon adoption of the right political or economic system - not that capitalists don't get in trouble this way too.

Nonsense. And, more to the point, there's no logical connection between such an onerous task for a million people and socially ostracizing them as "untouchables".
Nice try. 1 out of 10.
