7 0

Explanation:

<h3>Untouchability, in its literal sense is the practice of ostracising a minority group by segregating them from the mainstream by social custom or legal mandate. The term is most commonly associated with treatment of the Dalit communities in Indian subcontinent who were considered "polluting" , but the term has been used for other groups as well, such as the Burakumin of Japan, Cagots in Europe, or the Al-Akhdam in Yemen.</h3>

<h3>Traditionally, the groups characterized as untouchable were those whose occupations and habits of life involved ritually polluting activities such as fishermen, manual scavengers, sweepers and washermen.</h3>

<h3>Untouchability has been outlawed in both India and Pakistan post their independence. However, "Untouchability" hasn't been legally defined till date.</h3>

Indicates that blind children who have never observed others demonstrate normal facial expressions of emotion. Facial expressions are the movement of the facial muscles that the person performs to express emotions, this is done in an innate way, that is, we are born with the knowledge to perform facial expressions. This explains why blind people express emotions through facial expressions, and because we use the same facial expressions to demonstrate emotions throughout the world.
