Answer:

Slave:-

A slave is a human being classed as property and who is forced to work for nothing. An enslaved person is a human being who is made to be a slave. This language is often used instead of the word slave, to refer to the person and their experiences and to avoid the use of dehumanising language.

Untouchability:-

Untouchability, in its literal sense, is the practice of ostracising a group of people regarded as 'untouchables', as ascribed in the Vedic Hindu literature to persons of "low caste" or to persons excluded from the caste system resulting in the segregation and persecutions from the people regarded as "higher" caste.

The term has also been used to refer to other groups, including the Burakumin of Japan, the Baekjeong of Korea, and the Ragyabpa of Tibet, as well as the Romani people and Cagot in Europe, and the Al-Akhdam in Yemen Traditionally, the groups characterized as untouchable were those whose occupations and habits of life involved ritually "polluting" activities, such as fishermen, manual scavengers, sweepers and washermen.Untouchables were also practised against those people who ate beef freely,in contrast to the Hindu groups who regarded themselves as the people following higher standards by not eating beef which is considered a sin according to Hinduism since Hinduism forbids the eating of either cow or bull.
