Untouchability was a social curse in Indian culture. The British used such practices, along with Sati to show the world that Indians are savages who burn their women and treat fellow nationals as animals, and hence the British has the white man’s burden to civilise Indians.
If, even after independence, we kept all such regressive social practices, it would be making the British concept true. Also, if India had to grow, it would have to harness the power of all the sections of the population. If we ourselves, by being a slave of past practices, kept untouchability alive, then the nation would not grow to what was dreamt.
Many such reasons exist for the removal of untouchability. The removal of untouchability is also needed to follow the ideals and objectives set by the Preamble which calls for - equality, of status and opportunity and justice, social, economic, and political.
