Shot from a drone at 50 meters height from the ground, this is an aerial panoramic view of Bhalaswa landfill site and the settlement around it. People have built their houses right at the foot of the decomposing mountain of garbage.  Most of the rag pickers belong to India’s lowest caste, the ‘Untouchables’ migrated from neighboring states in search of as better life but end up again in garbage.  In many ways, the social hierarchy and cast discrimination has chained them to garbage.
