Gandhi called the people of lower castes "Harijans" (literally "children of God"). This term was his way of showing respect and dignity to those traditionally considered untouchable. However, many Dalits later rejected this term as patronaging, preferring the self-chosen identity of Dalit.

Mahatma Gandhi referred to people from lower castes as 'Harijans,' meaning 'children of God,' as part of his campaign against untouchability. He sought to dignify and uplift marginalized communities through this respectful term, contrasting with the dehumanizing practice of treating them as 'untouchables.' The term reflected his compassionate approach to social reform and equality.
