abolition of untouchability
The Constitution of India, particularly the Article 17, which prohibits untouchability in any form and makes it a punishable offence, outlawed discrimination against the untouchables in India in 1950.
In 1950, the practice of "untouchability" was outlawed in India with the implementation of the Constitution. Article 17 of the Constitution explicitly abolished untouchability and made its practice a punishable offense. This legislation aimed to promote social equality and eliminate discrimination against marginalized communities, particularly the Dalits. The move was a significant step towards establishing a more inclusive society in post-independence India.
