What are untouchables forbidden to do?

Untouchables, or Dalits, in the traditional Caste System of India have historically been forbidden from various activities, including entering temples, drawing water from communal wells, and engaging with higher caste individuals. They faced severe social and economic restrictions, often relegated to the most menial jobs. These prohibitions stemmed from deeply ingrained societal norms that considered them impure and unclean. Although discrimination persists, legal reforms and social movements have sought to improve their rights and status in contemporary society.
