- Harijan was a term used by Gandhi for Dalits. Gandhi said it was wrong to call people 'untouchable', and called them Harijans, which means children of God. It is still in wide use especially in Gandhi's home state of Gujarat. The term can also be attributed to Dalits of Pakistan called the haris, who are a group of mud-hut builders. Although Gandhi popularized the term, he was not the first person to use it. The dalit female Bhakti writer Gangasati used the term to refer to herself during the Bhakti movement, a period in India that gave greater status and voice to women while challenging the legitimacy of caste. This period started in the 4th century BC but is a living force in India today, flourishing particularly during India's middle ages. Gangasati lived around the 12th-14th century and wrote in the Gujurati language.
- Harijans är Mahatma Gandhis benämning på ett hinduiskt kast, dalit, de oberörbara. Bakgrunden till namnet är att han inte gillade kastsamhället och gav den lägsta kasten ett annat och mer angenämt namn, nämligen Harijans som betyder Haris barn. Hari är ett av den hinduiska guden Vishnus namn.
