The Ramnamis are a group of untouchables from central India. Banned from entering temples along with other Hindus, they deiced to tattoo God's name (Ram) all over their faces and bodies. A massage 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.
