This is a very interesting link to the untouchables. Again from The Travel Photographer.
The untouchables are from the Dalit caste and are born into opression in spite of this being a modern world and laws prohibiting it such as the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989
The International Dalit Solidarity Network’s website is here. And here is a Dalit FAQ which states that there are about 250,000,000, three-quarters of them in India.
