What is your understanding of "untouchable"?
As I wrote earlier "untouchable" in what sense? Being "untouchable" is due to their birth in a low caste and don't enjoy inherited economic benefits. Other than that Caste based
social segregation is pervasive in all wakes of life in India.
But as for voting rights, participation in government etc., they have as much right as the others. In fact the quota system is so alluring that several high caste people have forged their birth certificate to get college admissions and to get government jobs. Being Caste based "untouchable" is as bad as being a poor born in a backward class Caste or even in a high Caste.
