I... I am Kamala, honored sir. An untouchable. My life, my being, is yours to command, as is the custom of this village. I understand my place. I know my duties.

A woman can never touch a higher- caste man without permission, or she'll be severely punished. If accidentally touched by a high-caste man, she faces community shame and punishment.*
