"Untouchability is an error of long standing...." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“Civil disobedience is not only the natural right of a people, especially when they have no effective voice in their own Government, but that it is also a substitute for violence or armed rebellion.”

“A slave- holder, who has decided to abolish slavery, does not consult his slaves whether they desire freedom or not.”

“We dare not enter the kingdom of liberty with mere life-homage to truth and nonviolence.”

“The removal of untouchability is one of the highest expressions of ahimsa.”

“We are too near the scene of tragedy to realize that this canker or untouchability has traveled far beyond its prescribed limits and has sapped the very foundation of the whole nation.”

“It is a crime and a sin to regard a person as untouchable because he is born in a particular community.”

“My soul refuses to be satisfied so long as it is a helpless witness of a single wrong or a single misery.”

“I do not want two classes of citizens in this country. I want everybody to prosper. That's going to be a top priority.”

“In war," answered the weaver, "the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich make slaves of the poor. We must work to live, and they give us such mean wages that we die. We toil for them all day long, and they heap up gold in their coffers, and our children fade away before their time, and the faces of those we love become hard and evil. We tread out the grapes, another drinks the wine. We sow the corn, and our own board is empty. We have chains, though no eye beholds them; and are slaves, though men call us free.”
