The victims of untouchability suffered a lot to the stigma of untouchability including oppressive servitude, acute illiteracy, grinding poverty, degraded status and sinister contempt. It even marred the progress of the nation to a great extent. The caste Hindus could successfully exploited the ignorance and helplessness of the untouchables to such an extent that they were made to believe that it was most religious and divinely instituted and resistance to it would bring divine wrath. Thus, their voice could not be audible; rather it was savagely suppressed until recently.engCreative Commons Copyright (CC 2.5)Caste systemSocietyDalitHindu ethicsPolitical ethicsEthics of lawRights based legal ethicsCultural ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsMethods of ethicsGeneral and historicalCommunity ethicsLifestyle ethicsEducation and ethicsEthnicity and ethicsMinority ethicsArticle
