Description

Dalit, also some of them previously known as untouchables, is the lowest stratum of the castes in the Indian subcontinent. Dalits were excluded from the fourfold varna of the caste hierarchy and were seen as forming a fifth varna, also known by the name of Panchama. Several scholars have drawn parallels between Dalits and the Burakumin of Japan, the Baekjeong of Korea and the peasant class of the medieval European feudal system.

हरि का अर्थ है "ईश्वर या भगवान" और जन का अर्थ है "लोग" महात्मा गाँधी ने "हरिजन" शब्द का प्रयोग हिन्दू समाज के उन समुदायों के लिये करना शुरु किया था जो सामाजिक रूप से बहिष्कृत माने जाते थे। इनके साथ ऊँची जाति के लोग छुआछूत का व्यवहार करते थे अर्थात उन्हें अछूत समझा जाता था। सामाजिक पुर्ननिर्माण और इनके साथ भेदभाव समाप्त करने के लिये गाँधी ने उन्हें ये नाम दिया था और बाद में उन्होंने "हरिजन" नाम से एक समाचार-पत्र भी निकाला जिसमें इस सामाजिक बुराई के लिये वे नियमित लेख लिखते थे। लेकिन अब हरिजन शब्द को प्रतिबन्धित कर दिया गया है! हरिजन शब्द के स्थान पर अनुसूचित जाति का स्तेमाल करना अनिवार्य कर दिया गया है !
