Calling People 'Harijan' or 'Dhobi' Is Offensive: Supreme Court

 

[SVK]

To make them feel less offended I think Gandhiji invented term Harijan for lower caste community. Why court differs about it now?

 

[Sushubh]

'Harijan' (Hindustani: हरिजन (Devanagari), ہریجن (Nastaleeq); translation: "person of Hari/Vishnu") is a term popularized by Indian revolutionary leader Mahatma Gandhi for referring to Dalits, traditionally considered to be Untouchable. However the euphemism is now regarded as condescending by many,[1] with some Dalit activists calling it insulting.[2] As a result, the Government of India and several state governments forbid or discourage its use for official purposes.[3]
