Removal of Untouchability and Caste

Atheist Centre gives highest priority to fight the evil practices of untouchability and caste distinctions. In the teeth of severe opposition, Atheist Centre took up programmes of interdining and intercaste marriages to fight the heinous custom of untouchability. Gora made it a point to stay in an untouchable locality whenever he was invited to address a meeting at any village. Interdining programmes were also organised in villages on many occasions. It was a deliberate attempt to usher in social change in a traditional society.
