UNTOUCHABILITY IS A SIN ?... ISN'T IT ?

Untouchability is a sin , as said by mahatma Gandhiji. But today our Country is not behaving so, we pretending good but 
we are really not. The acts against the dalit peoples in INDIA shows that though we are 
developing as a economy power very fastly and literacy rate too increasing in a good manner,
reveals that we are still in that period only where some people were considered untouchables.
Some of the statistics of the atrocities done to dalits were as follows,
27 atrocities have been done against dalits ever day
13 dalits are murdered for no reason and all every day
5 homes have been burnt every day
11 dalit peoples beaten up
The true fact is that only 5% of all details were being reported and this is only 5% which is really a shame.

Some of the incidents like
A dalit women being raped and killed in one of ours states, In a goverment hospital in INDIA a dalit pregnant women refused treatment and died
In the noon meal scheme students refused to eat food as it was cooked by dalit women
and consequently she was also fired

48% of people were denied the basic need water
33% of people were denied of a visit from health workers
37% students sit seperately in government schools
12% of childs die before age of 5

We feel that we came out of these kind of untouchabilities , but till now every where this thing
still exist. This has to be totally cleared from our country when we can proudly say that we
are the supreme power one day...
