The measures were taken by Gandhiji to eliminate the problem of untouchability :
(a) Mahatma Gandhi declared that Swaraj would not come for a hundred years if untouchability was not eliminated.
(b) He called the 'untouchables' Harijan or the children of God.
(c) He organised satyagraha to secure them entry into temples, and access to public wells, tanks, roads and schools.
(d) He himself cleaned toilets to dignify the work of the bhangi (the sweepers) and persuaded upper castes to change their heart and give up the sin of untouchability.
