Untouchables of Asia - 'Dirty' milk

On the outskirts of the slum in Madurai, India, a man is milking his cow. But he cannot sell the milk to the caste people. They consider the milk unclean because it comes from a cow belonging to an untouchable and because an untouchable handled it. A lot of the low level production is kept within the untouchables community.
