Dalits: Broadly speaking, ‘the untouchables' of the Hindu Caste system are officially known as the Scheduled Castes. The same category of castes is also called Harijan, the children of God a term coined by M. K. Gandhi in 1933. However, the word Harijan has now acquired a synonymous meaning. The members of these castes prefer to be called dalit, the oppressed.
