peety-passion.com— Panchamas, or untouchables, have to deal with the horrible treatment from those higher in the caste system because those held higher in the Indian culture see the Panchamas as dirty sinners.

Hate to break it to you Kernel, but the Aryan invasion has not been disproven; it has been displaced by a different theory of the Aryan integration, wherein the Aryans peaceably and gradually intermingled with populations *all over* the country. This is one of the reasons that medieval sanskrit is part of the PIE linguistic family. Nor are Indians a homogeneous race; there are no less than 3 distinct racial subgroups on the Indian subcontinent (Dravidian in South India; I forget the other two, but I remember that one of them split off from the Mongoloid/Oriental race, and the other from the same racial group that ultimately colonized the middle east). But I agree with the sentiments of your comment. Indira Gandhi tried sterilization, and she almost destroyed the country.
bahahahahahahahaha. They follow it with even more vigor then Hindus. Muslims dont have a caste system but they do have their own system of discrimination.
How can you tell if someone is an untouchable? I mean, if someone just goes to another town and says he's something else, how would the people know. Even if he was poor, he could still be the one above untouchable.

My family didn't have a caste; the caste system did not develop in that region of India.

Caste system is very much alive. Hate crimes (atrocities) are committed against dalits every day, every minute. Administration does not enforce the laws protecting dalits. Village level administration system (panchayat raj) is leading to more caste violence.
