Answer:
Yes... because of the backwardness
Answer:
recent study on untouchability across rural India shows that these assumptions are incorrect.
Conducted by ActionAid in 2001-2002, in 565 villages of 11 states (Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu), the study shows that:
In 73% of the villages, dalits cannot enter non-dalit homes.
In 70% of the villages, dalits cannot eat with non-dalits.
In 64% of the villages, dalits cannot enter common temples.
In 53% of the villages, dalit women suffer ill-treatment at the hands of non-dalit women.
The findings of the study were analysed by a panel that included social activist Harsh Mander, who was with ActionAid when the study was conducted, and Sukhadeo Thorat, University Grants Commission chairperson and PACS Programme National Advisory Board member.
Their analysis has been published in the form of a book, Untouchability in Rural India (Sage Publications, New Delhi, 2006).
This backgrounder provides information about the study and its findings.
