The attention of Indian society towards the miseries of untouchables was drawn way back during second half of the nineteenth century with the introduction of modern education. It opened up the doors of knowledge and widened the mental horizons of Indian intelligentsia and gave Indians the understanding of liberal and humanitarian ideas thought of Western World.
It had also highlighted the weaknesses, rigidity and harshness of society towards the weaker sections of the society. It had attracted the attention of the people towards social evils, that had developed in the system.
Reformers, humanitarians and intellectuals took upon themselves the responsibility to build a modern, open, plural, culturally rich, prosperous and powerful India out of a fragmented, poverty stricken, superstitious, weak, indifferent, backward and inward looking society. Many reformatory efforts were done to uplift the backward groups of Indian society, especially ‘untouchables’. Later on, it turned into seeking state intervention and generating the idea of paying special attention to untouchables.
During this period, the attention of humanitarians and reformers was also drawn towards the pathetic condition of untouchables. They took the path of Sankritisation to elevate them. In order to prevent alienation of untouchables from Hindu community, they drew the attention of forward communities towards inhuman condition of lower strata of society and tried to create compassion in their hearts for downtrodden. Gandhiji tried to create compassion in the hearts of forward communities for Harijans and on the other he appealed to Harijans to observe cleaner habits, so that they could mix up freely with other sections of society. Hence, by the support of Gandhiji, the life of depressed class was often impoved.
