Chhuwachhut Pratha (Untouchability)

Our society has been divided into different castes which are high and low in order. The lowest caste ‘sudra’ is regarded untouchables whom the higher castes do not touch. This has been a stigma in our society in which one person does not touch another person. It degrades humanity and violates human rights. Untouchability was declared illegal in 2020 B.S but is still in practice in the society based on the caste system this tradition remains in our society as the leftovers of the feudal system, this creates discrimination as the higher caste people do not eat food touched by lower caste people. This has also given birth to revolt in the society. Such society evils must be uprooted from the society by the joint effort of all people
