India, village life for a Harijan mother in Maharashtra. This harijan mother lives in a cave with her baby child and her few posessions around her. Harijans are the lowest of the low class in the Indian state system. They are only allowed to do jobs such as cleaning and brickcarrying, they are poor farmers and landless labourers, dhobi wallers, and scavengers have no status whatsoever. They are pariahs and the rich will not even allow their shadows to touch them. The term 'Harijan' was coined for them by Mahatma Gandhi, it means they are the Children of God. They had their own wells and were not allowed to drink or draw water from others. The Indian government has tried to outlaw the caste system, but in rural areas it remains.
