On day 16 and 17, travelers would visit Tajmahal, Agra, India.
Please, read the line highlighted in yellow. I am very poor in English, therefore, I understood that National Geographic team may take few interested travelers to Kachhpura village in Agra most probably lower caste people live. Unfortunately the magazine termed them as untouchable. The terms 'harijan' and 'untouchable' were most probably coined before 100 years and in modern India it does not bear any significance. It is an offence to call anybody 'untouchable' in India and may attract legal consequences. If unfortunately, without my knowledge such things still exist, then Chief minister of the Uttar Pradesh state, Mr. Akhilesh Jadav and Prime minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh should make extra effort to remove such social stigma. By the way if you visit Agra, visit Kachhapura. It is a very nice village.
