Answer:
The practice of untouchability can be defined as the discrimination of certain groups of people and their inhuman treatment based on their castes and social groups. Untouchability is a practice so old that it is embedded tightly onto roots of many people in India.
Explanation:
Different words are used across the world to address these people who are the victims of the practice of untouchability such Dalits in Asia and Cagots in Europe. Various brave people with vision have fought against this absurd practice. Some of them include Vinoba Bhave, B.R. Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi. These people with the help of their supporters chose to fight against the odds and the unfair treatment. This was one of the many evils of the society against which the leaders of independent India were fighting.
