Excerpts from essay written by The Bhagat Singh at age 16. In June 1923, titled "Problem of untouchability"

Happy new year. It's been 101 years since Bhagat wrote this essay. I find it interesting that how the views of a young lad then and now are quite similar. For example, Bhagat writes, "Would not the drinking water of a well get polluted if the untouchables drew their water from the same well? That these questions are being asked in the twentieth century, is a matter that puts us to shame."
