Answer:
Untouchability is an ancient form of discrimination based upon caste which is a complex and pervasive problem in India, although its practice is not limited to India alone. For millennia, the practice of untouchability has marginalized, terrorized, and relegated a sector of Indian society to a life marked by violence, humiliation, and indignity.

Untouchability is the ancient caste discrimination whereby the upper caste people considers lower castes people (Dalits) as polluted and they are not to be touched by swarnas(upper caste people), nor can they live in the same village as swarna, cannot drink water from same well and are also prohibited to enter temples or public places. It is the most inhumane practice deeply exercised in India. Untouchable suffers from various rights deprivation like social, economic, legal etc.
They are forced to do all menial jobs, they are not given proper representation and kept deprived of educating their children. They are prohibited to read and touch religious texts. They cannot hold or own any property and cannot even sell their landed property.
They were prohibited to hold any public post in public administration. Although the Constitution abolishes untouchability and their are legislation in this regard, still, unfortunately the practice is prevalent in India.
