One woman fights for members of Indias lowest caste

The Worldfocus signature story Indias untouchables trudge through sewers explored the fate of Indias lowest class, forced to work in the sewers as a consequence of the countrys caste system.

Hema Konsotia is a member of Indias lower-caste Dalit community, known by some as the untouchables. She is also a college graduate and union activist who works with Dalits, teaching skills and urging political involvement.

Worldfocus correspondent Martin Himmell introduces a pioneering young woman who advocates for others as she struggles to fulfill her own dreams.
