In the video the untouchable, it describes the way of the hindu faith. I learned that the caste system is somewhat a system of heirchy. the only difference is that You are born into a certain class and will remain so forever no matter how good or bad you are. Lower classes serve higher classes. The lower classes's woman and children are not safe because the higher class will do anything with them.
the people who are on the higher caste system are the barahmins. the barahmins are the priests. those who are at the bottom are called sudras. They are the commoners. Then there comes the untouchables. They are followers of the hindu faith, but are not classifyed. Because of this they are the lowest of lows. These group of people are treated terribly then the other people who are in the caste system.
these group of people have been harrased to the extream that they are ashamed of showing their own faces. Many have tried to flee while others simply gave up on life.
Iwas so supprised by this video because such things still exist. It is a truely harsh and sad reality
