Who picks Bengaluru’s garbage?
Who picks Bengaluru’s garbage? And why are Bengali Muslim workers among the most vulnerable labourers in Indian cities today?
In this episode of What’s Your Ism?, Sudipto Mondal speaks with trade unionist and human rights activist R Kaleemullah about migrant labour, communal politics, garbage contractors, police violence, and the hidden economy behind waste processing in Bengaluru.
The discussion explores labour exploitation, trafficking, anti-Bangladeshi rhetoric, and the human cost of keeping cities clean.
