Untouchability is a social practice historically associated with certain groups in India, primarily those classified as Dalits, who are often referred to as "Scheduled Castes." While precise statistics can vary, estimates suggest that around 16-20% of India's population belongs to these communities. This percentage reflects the social and economic challenges faced by these groups, despite legal protections against discrimination.
