10. What did Gandhiji do to remove untouchability? |
|
Answer» Gandhi declared that swaraj would not come for a hundred years if untouchability was not eliminated. (i) He called the untouchables, Harijans or the children of God.(ii) He organised satyagraha to secure them entry into temples and access to public wells, tanks and schools.iii) He himself cleaned toilets to dignify the work of the bhangi (the sweepers), and persuaded upper castes to change their heart and give up ‘the sin of untouchability’. thank u |
