Answer 1

$\huge\sf\pink{Answer}$

Untouchable, also called Dalit, officially Scheduled Caste, formerly Harijan, in traditional Indian society, the former name for any member of a wide range of low-caste Hindu groups and any person outside the caste system. The use of the term and the social disabilities associated with it were declared illegal in the constitutions adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India in 1949 and of Pakistan in 1953. Mahatma Gandhi called untouchables Harijans (“Children of the God Hari Vishnu,” or simply “Children of God”) and long worked for their emancipation. However, this name is now considered condescending and offensive. The term Dalit later came to be used, especially by politically active members, though that too occasionally has negative connotations. The official designation Scheduled Caste is the most common term now used in India. Kocheril Raman Narayanan, who served as president of India from 1997 to 2002, was the first member of a Scheduled Caste to occupy a high office in the country.

Answer 2

Answer:

Untouchability is the age old problem in India which is substantiated by Caste system.

Explanation:

Birth of Untouchability

This is the repercussion of the widespread caste system in the society.

The society is divided into 4 Varnas as Brahmins, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudras. Brahmins were considered as the head and superior of all while Shudras were compared with that of foot of the society. They were treated as Slave and often considered to done some sins in their previous life.

Vedas never suggest the division based on this rigid caste system. It was in Later Vedic Period this system emerge and made the Brahmins superior to all.

Practice of Untouchability

Indian society inherited its practice from generations and hence consider them as "dwija or twin born". If we have to see the practical application f these, we clearly see Manual Scavengers which called to clean the human excreta manually.

Most of them came from low caste only and thus this society certify them to work.

The most recent case of Untouchability can be seen in the Government school of Bihar, where the parents not allow their children to eat Mid Day Meal cooked by a Dalit widow women.

This is the reality which is present inn the society after so many actions taken against it.

The Constitution provides measures like Article 17 which completely abolish the Untouchability but the harsh to be accepted reality is that it is there in overt or covert form.
