At the bottom of the traditional Caste System in India are the Dalits, formerly referred to as "Untouchables." They have historically faced severe discrimination and social exclusion, being relegated to menial and marginalized occupations. The caste system is a socio-religious hierarchy, and despite legal abolishment, its remnants still affect social dynamics in contemporary society.
