Chapter-5: Patterns of Social Inequality and Exclusion

Case- based Type Questions:
Q1. ‘Untouchability’ is an extreme and particularly vicious aspect of the caste system that prescribes
stringent social sanctions against members of castes located at the bottom of the purity-pollution
scale. Strictly speaking, the ‘untouchable’ castes are outside the caste hierarchy – they are
considered to be so ‘impure’ that their mere touch severely pollutes members of all other castes,
bringing terrible punishment for the former and forcing the latter to perform elaborate
purification rituals. In fact, notions of ‘distance pollution’ existed in many regions of India
[particularly in south] such that even the mere presence or the shadow of an ‘untouchable’ person
is considered polluting. Despite the limited literal meaning of the world, the institution of
‘untouchability’ refers not just to the avoidance or prohibition of physical contact but to a much
broader set of social sanctions.
