 The Untouchables (Oliver Mendelsohn, Marika Vicziany)
Early organisation by Untouchables themselves was on a caste and regional basis, and relationships between different Untouchable castes were often difficult.
Ambedkar, an Untouchable himself, developed a deeper analysis of Untouchability, but lacked a workable political strategy: his conversion to Buddhism in 1956, along with millions of followers, highlighted the failure of his political endeavours.
Mendelsohn and Vicziany begin with the vexed question of the identity of "the Untouchables" and an explanation for their choice of that term for their title, over Harijan, Dalit, or Scheduled Caste.

 The Untouchables
The untouchables were not even included in the varnas which is the different groups of the caste, instead the untouchables were avarna or out castes.
As Singer and Cohn point out, "Untouchables who move into the white collar sector of the urban Indian society are more likely to try to hide their caste identity, to attempt to treat the question as if it were irrelevant, than to claim a false caste affiliation" (1968: 71).
For the most part the Untouchables accepted their position and lived by the rules that were set before them.

The circle of events that gives The Untouchables its moral quandary is made viscerally thrilling with this form.
It’s no mistake that De Palma overloads his compositions with circular imagery, and even when he’s not doing that, his camera begins tracking in advance of the action, giving the subconscious effect that the camera knows what’s going to happen in advance, presumably because these events have happened before and will happen again.
