C., JANUARY 12, 1930—PART ONE. {GANDHI FORCES TO ELEVATE* Indian Independence BY T. H. K. REZMIE. By Radio to The Star. NEW YORK, January 11 (N.AN.A. Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Indian independence movement, in his message to the West, exclusively cabled to the North American Newspaper Alliance Wednesday, placed “the removal of untouchability” above all the important items in the program of the Indian has prepared for itself after declaring independence as its goal. ‘What is “untouchability"? And how does it function? £ The answers to these questions be- come immediately important to the Westerner in India as soon as he realizes that at least 60,000,000 human beings come under the classification of “un- touchable.” Part of Lowest Caste. The untouchable—or pariah—class in !India is part of the lowest caste. The 225,000,000 followers of Hinduism are divided into four castes—the Brahmin (or priestly caste), the Kahatriya (or warrior class), the Vaishya (or agri- culturist caste) and the Sudra (the menial caste). ‘The origin of the caste system is lost in antiquity. The Aryan con- querors of India some 4,000 years ago, perhaps, had some sort of an embryo of the present practice in their social organization. That it was not exactly | like it is proved by the fact that, while the first three castes are composed of members of the Aryan race, the lasf group mostly constitutes the conquered aborigines, called Dravidians, and dis- tinguished from the former by their dark complexion, short stature and flat noses. Untouchability, in_theory, can found anywhere in Hindu India—80,- 000,000 Mohammedans believe neither in caste system nor color distinction— but its most fanatical observance is noticed in Southern and Western India, { where the number as well as the im- | portance of the aborigine is greatest. Avaidance Is Vital. Usually given to occupations such as sweeping and removing night-soil, the untouchable is regarded by the caste Hindus as an object whose contact must be avoided at any cost. The Brahman takes the lead in this respect, d th two other Aryan castes walk in his foot- steps. Not only is the touch of the un- touchable defiling to the Aryan, but his passage within certain radius so pol- lutes the fair-complexioned Aryan that nothing short of a thorough-going rit- ual bath can cleanse him. The southern provinces of Madras and Bombay have long had the prob- lem of the Brahman and non-Brahman as well as other problems, but the prob- overshadows all these problems. Whole communities and districts of Southern i | Chautauqda Saxophonist, Retired|yndia are divided on the single basis of touchable or untouchable. So great is the intensity of this sentiment that the governments have had to prescribe laws on the subject. One State as Example.

Perhaps it would be correct to say that the influence of Christian missionaries has been the greatest single factor in the movement for the removal of untouchability. The early Indian reformers were either im- pressed by the Christian ideal, which at once elevated the converted Pariah to a semblance of decency, not permitted him before, or were alarmed at the first increase in the number of Sudra con- verts to Christianity. Recent Advance Greatest. ‘The greatest advance in this direc- tion has however, been made in recent years by Mahatma Gandhi. Through co-operation he has for at least 12 years carried the gospel of removal of un- touchablity to all corners of India. Everywhere Nationalists have organized special committees for the specific pur- pose of the removal of untouchability. Many years before he ever asked his fellow-religonists to give up this, the most objectionable feature of the caste- system, Mahatfna Gandhi had adopted as his own daughter, a girl of the low- est untouchable caste. And although him the superior of millions of Brah- mins, who now offer him the same ritu- tained the Pariah girl as his most be~ loved child. The disabilities and discriminations with which the untouchables suffer have for centuries bordered on the inhuman. But the conscience of Hinduism h the problem before it, in all its lurid cruelty and injustice. Freedom Not Deserved. “If you cannot treat justly human beings who are given in your care by your common creator you do not de- | serve to be freed from the domination | of others,” he sald to them. Until & few years ago the untouch- ables were not permitted—and that holds true for the most part even today | —to drink water from the same faucets, | draw water from the same wells, walk | on the same streets, enter or worship in the same temples, go to the same schools, travel on the same railroad trains or tramcars, as the caste Hindus. They were not counted as human beings in any sense except numerically gs fol- lowers of Hinduism. And all this in spite of the fact that Lord Krishna, the greatest of Hindu incarnations, was a member of the dark race. But now the bigotry of other days seems to be fast giving way.
