Although comparable forms of discrimination are found all over the world, untouchability involving the caste system is largely unique to South Asia.

It was released on 12 July 2013. Background While talking about the track, Ruffo said "If you listen to the artists that influenced me – Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Queen band, Queen – and you listen to their vocal production, it's really intricate. We really tried to emulate the sound of a Quincy Jones-type production on this song. The idea was trying to bring some of the old skool vibe back, and I think that's sort of making a return with artists like Bruno Mars, Daft Punk/Pharrell Williams, Pharrell and Robin Thicke anyway. In that sense it's actually the perfect time to release a song like this." Promotion Ruffo did a number of in-store performances in Westfield Group, Westfield throughout July in Victoria (Australia), Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Western ...
