How did the servant of RajendraPrasadknow that gandhi is not an untouchable?
Could also elaborate on that drawing the water from the well, i did not understand that part.
Thank you.
The servants of Rajendra Prasad's house knew Shukla, the man accompanying Gandhi was a poor yeoman who would pester their master to help the indigo sharecroppers so they had let him in on the grounds with his companion, Gandhi, whom they took to be another peasant. But Gandhi was not permitted to draw water from the well because they thought that along with being a yeoman, he was also untouchable. Gandhi's supposed untouchability would have polluted the entire source of water if some of the drops from his bucket spilled.
