Here always it is a lot of tourists. Guides it tell about the hydraulic engineering complex built by their compatriots, and about the ancient city created by far ancestors. Here between the past and the present the strong bridge symbolising continuity of generations and progress.

But not everywhere and not in all the past so harmoniously adjoins to the present and the more so with tomorrow of the country. The past heritage is frequent it appears a serious brake for progress forward.

In India the most part of the population professing induizm, shares on the class castes which have arisen in due time on the basis of a public division of labour. There are some basic castes: braminy - priests, kshatrii - soldiers, vajshi-dealers, shudry - farmers. These castes share on 3500 podkast. Not only between castes, but also between podkastami there are social barriers, marriages are not admissible, in particular. As to haridzhan they not only are in the bottom of this class pyramid, but do not join at all in it.

Since times immemorial performance of the heaviest and ' dirty ' works was destiny of these people, outcast a society. In consciousness of representatives of all Indian castes representation has deeply taken roots, that contact with haridzhaninom, acceptance from it food, using its things ' profanes ' the devout Hindu. Knowingly them named untouchable. And untouchable really never mixed up with other Hindus - in each village they live till now separately in an original ghetto, and anybody from them does not dare to cross its border, to take advantage of the general temple, sacred pool at it, the general well. On census of 1971, in India was about 80 million haridzhan. Besides it in the country about 40 million persons are backward tribes - adivasi. Thus, these two groups most the deprived in the Indian society make the fifth part of the population.
