Untouchability is a social practice that historically discriminates against certain groups in society, particularly in the context of the caste system in India. Individuals labeled as "untouchables" or belonging to the Dalit community faced severe social exclusion, being considered impure and often subjected to various forms of discrimination and violence. This practice has deep roots in cultural and religious beliefs, leading to significant social and economic disadvantages for those affected. Although India has enacted laws to abolish untouchability and promote equality, the stigma and discrimination associated with it persist in some areas, highlighting ongoing challenges in achieving social justice.
