The subjugation of millions of people in a caste system that is a
radical form of apartheid has long had its critics, both from
within India and from outside it. Although the government has
introduced equal opportunity legislation in an effort to right some
of history's wrongs, untouchability is an accident of birth that
continues to stigmatize and ostracize more than one hundred and
forty million people. Untouchables remain on the bottom of the
socioeconomic scale and are found, more often than not, in
unskilled, low status occupations. They are forbidden to enter
temples, often beg for their food, must leave their chests
uncovered and silently endure public humiliations and insults. They
remain on the fringes of society and it is even said by some that
their shadows pollute passersby.
