How is water a witness to the humiliation caused to the Dalits? |
|
Answer» In earlier times, when the varna system was in practice, the ‘panchamas’ or the untouchables were not allowed to touch or fill their pots with water. Whenever a Wada girl went to collect water from a pond or a tank, the people of other varnas used to pour water from a higher level at a distance, into the pot of the Wada girl. Naturally, on such occasions, some water would invariably fall on the body of the girl. This would cause a lot of humiliation to the girl. |
