untouchable

I feel like untouchable is about the realization that as humans we have rights. Bakha was neglected these rights. He was born into his social status. His father encourages this injustice by accepting it and allowing his children to accept it. In lecture we discussed three options of obtaining these human rights and freedom. A missionary brings about the idea that god loves everyone and for this reason converting into christianity becomes an option. Second, Gandhi also makes a speech in which he makes it known that in order for change to take place in india the minority must take a stand. And the third option involved a change in technology. Adding the "flush system" would allow untouchables to move away from doing dirty jobs and reclaim their dignity.
