What level were the untouchables in the India social class pyramid?

The Untouchables, also known as Dalits, were positioned outside the traditional four-tier Caste System in India, often regarded as the lowest social group. They faced severe discrimination and were assigned the most menial and stigmatized jobs. Historically, they were considered "impure" and were socially ostracized, which reinforced their exclusion from mainstream society and its privileges. The caste system has been officially abolished, but the legacy of discrimination still affects many Dalits today.
