Rquotes

Untouchability, caste, slavery and economic exploitation:
 

In slavery the master at any rate had the responsibility to feed, clothe and house the salve and keep him in good condition lest the market value of the slave should decrease. But in the system of  untouchability the Hindu takes no responsibility for the maintenance of the untouchables. As an economic system it permits exploitation without obligation.

Dr B R Ambedkar
