Gandhi on Dalits:
1.  As early as 1926, Mahatma Gandhi wrote an article, "Crime of caste", when a Dalit in a highly devotional and ecstatic mood entered a temple in South India and was caught by some caste Hindus and given to the police for prosecution.
2.  He was tried and fined Rs 75 for having offended his own religion by entering the temple which was prohibited to him. Luckily, because of arguments of a man like C Rajagopalachari, who appeared on behalf of the man who appealed against the fine, the punishment was set aside as the prosecution had forgotten to prove the insult in the lower court.
3.  Gandhi then put several questions, "What place shall the 'untouchables' occupy in our scheme of swaraj?
4.  If they are to be free from all special restraints and disabilities under swaraj, why can we not declare their freedom now?
5.  And if we are powerless today, shall we be less powerless under swaraj?
6.  We may shut our eyes and stuff our ears to these questions. But they are of the highest importance....
7.  "After 70 years of Independence, we are still grappling with such questions. They are of the highest importance to address the rising Dalit anger.
