Untouchability is the practice of discriminating between certain sections of the society based on casteism. 

1. Untouchability is a social evil 
because the backward classes are denied the very fundamental rights, which are guaranteed to each and every citizen by the Constitution. 

2. Untouchability alienates people from the social structure and hinders the progress of the society as a whole. 

3. The untouchables are considered 'impure' and are denied access to all basic rights and facilities, which they are entitled to for a living.

4. They do not get access to education and are left ignorant of healthcare issues, cleanliness, etc.

5. The practice of untouchability disturbs the spirit of communal harmony and universal brotherhood.
