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.
