What we do with our dead, how we see them, depends on the specific circumstances in which we are born—faith, religion, language, place, sect, race, gender and, more recently, science. . In India, people classified as “untouchables” or “Dalits” have been forced to handle the dead for centuries. The way they are forced to do so in modern, government hospitals has gone unnoticed and documented. My project proposes to shed light on an unknown, covered world and to see how this race evolves over time that takes shape in new practices. Autopsy was introduced in India a few hundred years ago by British physicians.
