Untouchable Quotes for Whatsapp and Facebook Status
Ay, in this country of ours, the very birthplace of the Vedanta, our masses have been hypnotized for ages into that state. Touch them is pollution, to sit with them is pollution! Hopeless they were born, hopeless they must remain! And the result is that they have been sinking, sinking, sinking and have come to the last stage to which a human being can come.
S. Vivekananda
No religion on earth preaches the dignity of humanity in such a lofty strain as Hinduism, and no religion on earth treads upon the necks of the poor and the low in such a fashion, as Hinduism. Wherein does our religion lie now? In Don’t touchism alone, and nowhere else! We do not touch them, we avoid their company! Are we men? When, when, 0 Lord, shall man be brother to man?
S. Vivekananda
I may not be born again, but if it happens, I will like to be born into a family of scavengers, so that I may relieve them of the inhuman, unhealthy and hateful practice of carrying night soil.
Mahatma Gandhi
Why are we always abused? The santry inspector that day abused my father. They always abuse us. Because we are sweepers. Because we touch dung. They hate dung. I hate it too. That’s why I came here. I was tired of working on the latrines everyday. That’s why they don’t touch us, the high castes!
Mulk Raj Anand
The fact that we address God as “the purifier of the polluted souls” makes it a sin to regard anyone born in Hinduism as pollutedit is satanic to do so. I have never been tired of repeating that it is a great sin. I do not say that this thing crystallized in me at the age of twelve, but I do say that I did then regard untouchability as a sin.
Mahatma Gandhi
