  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 4 years, 9 months ago

In the ancient society, the position of the untouchables was very pitiable. They were kept at the lowest place in the society. They were assigned the following duties:

(i) They were compelled to live outside the village. 

(ii) They used discarded utensils. They wore clothes worn out by the dead at the time of their death. They wore ornaments made of iron.

(iii) They were not allowed to move or walk in the village at night.

(iv) They had to perform last rites of those dead persons who had no relative. They also acted as the hang-man.

(v) Fa Xian a chinese buddhist travelle writes that the untouchables have to carry a pot so as to spit in it thus to avoid dirtying the place and have to sound clapper before entering any town so as to warn the upper caste to avoid seeing them.
