Question

write a small dairy entry on untouchables

Answer 1

Untouchability is a status of certain social groups confined to menial and despised jobs. It is associated with the Hindu caste system, known as Dalits. But similar groups exist outside Hinduism, for example theBurakumin in japan and the hutu and Twa in rwand. At the beginning of the twenty-first century there were over 160 million untouchables on the Indian subcontinent.It is not merely the inability to touch a human being of a certain caste or sub-caste. It is an attitude on the part of a whole group of people that relates to a deeper psychological process of thought and belief, invisible to the naked eye, translated into various physical acts and behaviours, norms and practices.
