With the kind of wealth available in Indian cricket and the lack of safeguards, there is no estimating what a more accurate number of cricketers facing harassment by their superiors—coaches, selectors, officials—may be. Women cricketers who have left the game are able to draw a clearer picture, but on condition of revealing neither their names nor the states they represented.

'Dalits kept as cleaners': Brahmins dominate Sulabh toilets' top managerial positions

'Dalits kept as cleaners': Brahmins dominate Sulabh toilets' top managerial positions

The founder of Sulabh International, Dr Bindeshwar Pathak, is said to have brought 'revolution' to the toilet system in India by introducing the concept of 'paid toilet' system. However, Sulabh International actually became the biggest beneficiary of the hypocrisy of a society which refuses to pay honourably to a community which is enslaved. Community people continue to work as manual scavengers.
