Extra Information(if any) The Dalits have been discriminated on the basis of caste and untouchability mostly in matter related to food and drink on the one hand and prohibition of entry into houses, temples and other public places on the other. Such caste-based discrimination against the Dalits is continuing for generations together. By tradition, those who are treated as impure and whose food and water are not accepted are called pani na chalne jaat or the Dalits. Food and water offered by the pani na chalne jaat is regarded as impure by the pani chalne jaat. All possible efforts are made that the pani na chalne jaat do not come in physical touch with the so-called pani-chalne-jaat. One has to take bath and sprinkle water if one belonging to pani chalne jaat is touched with the body of someone from pani na chalne jaat. In actual practice, however, there is no such rigorous rule to sprinkle water to become pure during the physical touch with the Dalits, except in the case of Doom or Halkhor caste of people.
