Question
Narayan and Gandhiji discussed all these many years ago. Have things changed now?
Solution
Yes, things have changed a lot now. Nowadays, most people do not believe in untouchability. In fact, the government has also passed many rules in favour of these people according to which misbehaving with these people is punishable by law. The government has also reserved many seats for these people in educational institutions and government jobs.
