Untouchability has been banned to prevent discrimination.

• Untouchability is the practise of excluding a group of people who are considered to be "untouchables," as ascribed in the Vedic Hindu literature to people of "high caste" or to people who are not included in the caste system, leading to segregation and persecution from the people considered to be "higher" caste.
• Abolition of Untouchability in Article 17. - "Untouchability" is outlawed, and any form of its application is prohibited.
• Any disability imposed as a result of "Untouchability" is illegal and will be punished accordingly.
• The Anti-Untouchability Act in 1955 officially outlawed "protected sphere" untouchability and forbade its practise in any capacity.
• When untouchability is abolished, Dalits are free to pursue education, visit temples, use public amenities, and other activities.
• Additionally, it signifies that a democratic government will not accept the practise of untouchability since it is wrong and ensure equality among its citizens.
