what are the effects of untouchibility
Answers
1. Untouchability divided the Hindu society into the ‘touchable’ and ‘untouchable’ groups and served to develop mutual dislike, contempt and sometimes even enmity between the two. Damaged social harmony and created wide social distance between the two groups.
2. Since more than 1/6 of the total population of this land was labelled as “untouchable” it socio-economic and educational progress was unwarrantedly halted for centuries.
3. Untouchability perpetuates inequality. Hence it cannot support the development of health) democratic traditions. It has affected our democratic system very badly.
4. Untouchability provided scope for religious conversions. Those untouchables who got disillusioned with the Hindu society got converted to other religions such as Christianity or Islam. Dr. Ambedkar himself had joined Buddhism at the far end of his life in protest against the caste- controlled Hinduism. [Such conversion of religion was reported in Meenakshipuram in Tamil Nadu in February 1981 in which about 1000 Harijans were converted into Islam.]
5. Untouchability led to perennial conflicts between the upper castes and lower castes for generations, sometimes resulting in loot, arson, murder, rape, molestation, burning of houses and crops and so on.
