Answer:

Harijan', meaning 'children of God', was a term first used by Gandhi to refer to Dalits in 1932. ... Gandhi is also known to have said that he felt use of the term 'Depressed Classes' reminded people of slavery and was offensive to them, so he preferred the more benign term, 'Harijans'.

Explanation:

The Supreme Court on Friday decided to knock on the doors of our ignorance. In a ruling where they quashed the anticipatory bail granted to the accused who allegedly insulted an SC woman, the judges said that ‘Harijan’, ‘dhobi’ etc are words of insult.

The use of the word ‘Harijan’ ‘dhobi’ etc., is often done by people belonging to the so-called upper castes as words of insult, abuse and derision,” a bench of Justices RK Agrawal and Ashok Bhushan said.

“We, as citizens of this country, should always keep one thing in our mind and heart that no people or community should be insulted or looked down upon, and nobody’s feelings should be hurt,” the judges added.

The Supreme Court’s statement comes even as not many understand why the use of the term is insulting and abusive.
