In the Name of God
The Ramnamis are a group of untouchables from central India. Banned  from entering temples along with other Hindus, they decided to tattoo  God’s name (Ram) all over their faces and bodies. A message to say that  they ‘could have God with them too’, and it angered the upper-castes who  felt that they were polluting God’s name with their untouchable bodies.  photographed by Olivia Arthur
