In addition to the ashraf/ajlaf divide, there is also the arzal caste among Muslims,[294] who were regarded by anti-caste activists like Babasaheb Ambedkar as the equivalent of untouchables.[295][296] The term "Arzal" stands for "degraded" and the Arzal castes are further subdivided into Bhanar, Halalkhor, Hijra, Kasbi, Lalbegi, Maugta, Mehtar etc.[295][296][297] They are relegated to "menial" professions such as scavenging and carrying night soil.[298]
