Answer 2

Answer:

Untouchability is seen as a crime and has been legally abolished by law.

Explanation:

Untouchability is a form of social ostracisation of people belonging to the Dalit community or people from 'lower castes' by the Savarna or 'upper castes' in the Hindu Vedic caste system. The Dharmashastra is said to be the first text to have mentioned 'untouchability' and was to be practiced against people who were engaged in "polluting activities" like sweepers and manual scavengers.

The Constitution of India in Article $17$ legally abolishes the act of untouchability and The Untouchability (Offences Act) $1955$ makes it a criminal offense. There are certain established measures to ensure the participation of lower castes in different educational institutions and job opportunities. Furthermore, official bodies like the National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are in place to protect their interests.
