Untouchability, in its literal sense, is the practice of ostracising a minority group by segregating them from the mainstream by social custom or legal mandate.

The term is most commonly associated with treatment of the Dalit communities in the Indian subcontinent who were considered "polluting".

The Untouchability (Offences) Act, 1955 makes this practice a punishable offence. It also prescribes penalties for the enforcement of any disability that arises out of untouchability.

This Act was passed in the Indian Parliament for the eradication of untouchability from the country.
