In traditional Hindu society, untouchables were considered impure and touching them was believed to transfer that impurity to the person who touched them. This concept was based on the Caste System, where untouchables were considered the lowest social group. If a person from a higher caste touched an untouchable, they were required to undergo a purification ritual to cleanse themselves of the perceived impurity. This practice has been widely criticized and efforts have been made to abolish caste-based discrimination in modern India.
