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.
