        "The Untouchables" began in Agrarian India, along Agrarian lines of ostracization as morbidity contingency. Rural places are still Agrarian.

        People of more informed Tribe (to put it nicely) have always married people of less informed Tribe because women have always married men. :)

        Are we forgetting that India's first 'untouchable' president was K.R.Narayanan? #milestone seems #revisionist

        KR Narayanan was an untouchable. Not first time. Don't make issue out of non-issue. Check first. @CNN @BBCWorld @ZeeNews @PMOIndia @aajtak
