India's untouchables have been forced to accept and eat joothan for centuries, and the word encapsulates the pain, humiliation, and poverty of a community forced to live at the bottom of India's social pyramid.Īlthough untouchability was abolished in 1949, Dalits continued to face discrimination, economic deprivation, violence, and ridicule. 'Joothan' refers to scraps of food left on a plate, destined for the garbage or animals. Omprakash Valmiki describes his life as an untouchable, or Dalit, in the newly independent India of the 1950s.
