Many thanks for your helpful answer to my question about shoemakers as untouchables and as thus referred to them by Vivian in one of her posts.
I am aware of course about those deemed to be untouchables highlighted by Ambedkar and many others including Gandhi in his terminology for them as the children of God. I also have notes on their official numbers etc in India whether scheduled castes or tribals etc. However, my question specifically related to any untouchables in Goa today. Are there untouchables among the Catholics or indeed among the Hindus normally resident in Goa today?
Thanks again
Cornel
