Speech on untouchability in english

Answer 1

Hello everyone, honourable chief guest, respected principal, professors, and dear friends, as we all know before independence people had many difficulties in survival. Untouchability was one of those. I am here to deliver you the speech on untouchability.

Untouchability is a practice in which some lower caste people are kept at a distance, denied of social equality and made to suffer from some disabilities for their touch, is considered to be contaminating or polluting the higher caste people.
More than 160 million people in India were considered "Untouchable"—people tainted by their birth into a caste system that deems them impure, less than human. Human rights abuses against these people, known as Dalits, are legion.
The social historical theory explains the creation of the Varnas, Jats and of the untouchables. According to this theory, the caste system began with the arrival of the Aryans in India. The Aryans arrived in India around 1500 BC.
The 1950 national constitution of India legally abolished the practice of untouchability and provided measures for positive discrimination in both educational institutions and public services for Dalits and other social groups who lie within the caste system.
Abolition of untouchability has been included among fundamental rights under article 17. This is one of the few fundamental rights available against individuals. To make untouchability law further strong, parliament passed Untouchability (offences) Act in 1955 which came into force 1st June, 1955.
Hence, after decades of regaining independence, India is still not completely free from these social evils. The Dalits have been discriminated majorly because of the jobs they indulge in such as scavenging, cleaning public areas etc. Ironically, they should be the ones given utmost respect as they keep our society clean and healthy by getting filth on their own hands. The leaders of independent India such as Mahatma Gandhi and B.R Ambedkar fought to give the Dalit community their basic rights and abolish the system of untouchability. In spite of their efforts, a part of the society still believes in practicing untouchability. The young generation should take charge and fight for its complete abolition and justify the struggles of the past leaders.
