MENTION ANY 3 EFFORTS MADE BY GANDHIJI TO GET HARIJANS THEIR RIGHTS

Gandhi strived to play an active role in the upliftment of Dalits in the following ways:

i) Before his arrival, the Congress had avoided raising such issues and limited itself to its interaction with the British government. However, Gandhi sought to expand the scope of the Congress and take it to the masses with the aim of social reform in order to achieve national integration.

ii) He called the them as 'Harijan', or children of God.

iii) He organised Satyagraha to secure them entry into temples, and access to public wells, tanks, schools and roads.

He lived with them and condemned untouchability. 

He did their work like cleaning toilets, roads to show that they also did work which was very important and that they should be treated properly and with respect.

He didnt call them untouchables, he called them harijans meaning the people of god
