Excellent- More about Caste System Untouchability and the Depressed
Untouchability's history is still being explored, scrutinized, and reconstructed, with questions and circumstances such as the origin of social discrimination, the relationship between social discrimination and pollution or sin, and the difference between social discrimination in ancient India and untouchability in medieval India. The post-Gupta period is the focal point of the process, but a more minute investigation is needed to confirm it. The reality of social discrimination against the depressed castes in medieval India is perplexing due to its historical change and areal diversity.

Publisher: Manohar Publishers and Distributors
The history of untouchability remains a subject yet to be fully explored, scrutinized, and reconstructed, and not without tremendous effort. In unraveling the elements of this complex socio-historical fabric, several questions and circumstances are salient. To begin with, what is the origin of the social discrimination that continues to be perpetrated upon certain social groups? What has been the relationship between social discrimination and the concept of pollution or sin? These problems have special relevance to the emergence of socially discriminated groups in ancient India like Candala. What, then, is the difference between social discrimination in ancient India and untouchability in medieval India? The formative process of untouchability is still clouded in this regard with the darkness or obscurity of history. The focal point of this process might be assumed to be the post-Gupta period, but only a more minute investigation will lead to its confirmation. Then again, what is the reality of social discrimination against the depressed castes in medieval India? Its historical change and areal diversity poses a perplexing issue.
