I said, "I OBJECT!"

 How can we label any profession as 'unclean' other than those that harm nature and humanity? 🤔

Information is often sought for official scholarship-related work about students whose parents are engaged in so-called 'unclean professions.'But we must respect the dignity of every individual and avoid using such derogatory terms.

Instead, those who contribute immensely to public hygiene and environmental protection should be referred to as "Guardians of Cleanliness"  or "Sanitation Angels."

In our culture, a person undergoes various sacraments from birth to death, and the final rites are considered one of them.

Performing the last rites, especially the ritual of cremation is seen as a virtuous and sacred act.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was sanitation workers and health workers who carried out the cremation rites of the deceased, despite having no blood relation with them — purely driven by the bond of humanity.

Risking their own lives, these frontline sanitation and health workers selflessly served the nation. Their work deserves a salute.

Every profession, every role, holds its own dignity, and that dignity must be duly respected.

Hence, the term 'unclean profession' and "unclean scholarship" should be completely avoided.

It is not enough to merely recite the Constitution,It is important to understand the humanitarian depth of its words and to live by them.
