Removed dubious assertions and inaccuracies. Apartheid involves segregation but NOT untouchability or ideas of pollution. Not all segregation is untouchability. Untouchability refers to ideas of pollution by TOUCH.

Yes it does. Blacks were segregated into Bantustans in South Africa simple because the Boers id not want to touch them. Apartheid is an extremely evil form of untouchability.Hkelkar 00:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Untouchability does not mean only Dalits

It also refers to Apartheid, the ostracization of the al-Akhdham in Yemen, and the neechi biradari among Muslims in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Undid redirect.Hkelkar 06:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid you are wrong. Apartheid is not based on ideas linking spirituality and purity vs pollution. Apartheid is segregation, but not untouchability.

Also - the "Caste in Israel" tage does not link to anything, so it has been removed.
