BigorU [14]3 years ago

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.

/\/\/\/\PLEEEEEEEEEEASE I NEED HELP/\/\/\/\.Write a descriptive paragraph describing Mansa Musa's pilgrimage to Makkah.
Mumz [18]

Mansa Musa was a devout Muslim. In 1324, he started making preparations for his initial pilgrimage journey to Mecca. The distance between Mali and Mecca is approximately 3000 miles. Therefore, it took officials and servants from his empire several months to make adequate preparations for the journey. The initial step in making preparations involved the collection of animals which were to be used as sources of food as well as carry luggage. The animals included goats, cows, and camels. Items to be carried by the animals included gold, food, and clothing. More than 30,000 pounds of gold were carried among 100 camels. A large number of people were also included in the caravan that accompanied the king. It is estimated that the caravan consisted of 60,000 people of whom 12,000 were slaves (Woods & Tucker, 2006). Others included 500 maids who were identified by the king’s first wife, soldiers, story tellers, teachers, and doctors (Woods & Tucker, 2006).
