3. They had to use discarded utensils and wear clothes of the dead and ornaments made of iron.
4. They generally performed lower-level jobs like cremation of the corpses and sanitation work.
5. Some of their classes had to sound a clapper while moving on the streets to be aware of the other people as their shadow was also considered polluted.
