Question

Life for those of us in this caste is not easy. Everywhere we go people treat us like we are dirt, or worse, they treat us like we are 6th graders. We must clean toilets, pick up dead animals from the street, and clean up the waste products left behind by the sacred cattle in this city. Our only hope is having good karma. I would not want to be reincarnated as a member of this caste". Who am I?

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the description, this person is a Dalit.

Explanation:

The Dalits are the lowest caste in India. Even nowadays, they are regarded as impure by the upper castes. Dalits are poor and often have low literacy. They usually work on jobs that involve sanitation, such as disposing of garbage and collecting dead animals from the streets. Such jobs indicate a historical continuity, since the Dalits performed similar tasks in the past. As a matter of fact, that is the reason why they are seen as impure or polluting.
