Who were the untouchables in the Indian caste system?

2 answers:

8 0

Many castes have been called untouchable, which subscribes to the social rule that commands marriage exclusively within the caste community. Traditionally, the groups characterized as untouchable were people who worked on polluting activities, for example: (1) taking the life of animals for a living, for example, fishermen, (2) killing or disposing of dead cattle for a living, (3) practicing activities that included contact with emissions of the human body, such as feces, urine, sweat, and spittle such as sweepers and washer men, and (4) eating the flesh of cattle or of domestic pigs and chicken, a category into which many indigenous tribes of India fell.

In general, the name was given to members of low-caste Hindu groups and people outside the caste system. The use of the term and the social disabilities associated with it were declared illegal in India in 1949 and Pakistan in 1953.

Untouchables were the people in society who were deemed as less than human. They were the people that cleaned up the streets, took care of dead bodies... They had to do what no one else in society wanted to do pretty much.

Use this medieval illustration to answer the following question:

N76 [4]

It is very important to remember that medieval society functioned under very clear and well-defined stratas that originated from the belief of where power came from and who was who as determined by the strong religious belief of the time. Religion, particularly Christianity, played a major role in how medieval Europe formed socially and how people interacted as well. As such, given the illustration provided, this is what can be said.

First, the reason for the clergy and the pope being at the top was that in medieval times it was believed that God, and therefore his representatives, were at the head of society. They were in charge of blessing rulers selected by God. It was from divine power that all human power and social structures derived. The king, being the God-appointed earhtly power, was the heart of the social structure and from him all other levels derived. On one side, the king has the lords, men given the right by birth, not merit, to support the king and surround him, while the knights were men whose military prowes endowed them to protect the king and the land. While a noble´s function was to council the king, the knights were entrusted with the king´s protection. Finally, the serfs, or servants, were all people of low-born origin, poor in nature and without any important or noble ancestry, over who the king ruled and who were the basis of all medieval societies. The reason for the colors is to ascertain that this social ranking was acceptable to all members of society, even the serfs and the reason for not looking directly at the king, his lords, or the knights, is because they were believed to be too lowborn and unworthy to look at the higher hierarchies.
