Indian law does not recognize the age-old practice of untouchability. This practice is a form of social discrimination against certain groups of persons, based on their caste.Even today, it is relevant because there are honor killings conducted in the name of inter caste marriages. In real life, untouchability is not talked about much because it is an ugly truth that people are discriminated against based on their caste.

Although the history of untouchability goes back to the period of the Vedas and Puranas, the implementation of it was based on mistaken interpretations of the people of that time. As we all know, beliefs can be dangerous when people misuse it to gain positions of absolute power and prestige in society. These blind beliefs plague the Indian society and get translated into illogical,  cruel and intolerant actions against specific communities such as the Dalits
