c. Dalits
d. Shudras

Below the Hindu class system are the outcastes, a term not legally accepted in India today. The Indian government calls them "scheduled classes," but others call them Harijans, "Children of God," a positive term with an unfortunate negative connotation in that "Harijans" is also an Indian euphemism for illegitimate children. They prefer today to call themselves Dalits, "oppressed ones."
