However the euphemism Harijan is now regarded as condescending by many, with some Dalit activists calling it insulting. As a result, the Government of India and several state governments forbid or discourage its use for official purposes.Though Gandhi popularized the term harijan, which literally meant children of god,but according to dharma brahmin are said to be children of god Harijan it was suggested to him by a brahmin during his political period, who had come across the term in the works by the Gujarati Bhakti era poet-saint Narsi Mehta.It has been claimed that in Narsi's work, the term refers to the children of Devadasis., however the claim cannot be verified.
