The Caste system, specifically the untouchables within it, kept them limited in every aspect of society. They were given menial work that nobody wanted to do. They were harassed for being at the bottom and had no social status and economic status. They were illiterate and often had no education. They were unprotected and repressed by the caste system. They had no option to move up in the system like those of higher castes. The untouchables had little to no freedom and were often used as cheap labor. These people become the lowest of the low in India, and even though the Caste system no longer exists in India, people are still facing the repercussions of it.
