Abstract	Untouchability is one of the worst features of the Hindu Society. In the process of evolution of caste on the principles of graded chathurvarna (four Varnas) such as Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaisya and Shudra the vast body of people known as Panchama, exterior, Antyajas or scheduled castes fell outside the purview of chaturvarna. They were denied the rights enjoyed by Brahmin's, Kshatriya's. Vaishya's and Upanayana even they were prohibited to perorm upanayana to wear sacred thread, learning Vedas, doing trade and other clean occupations. They were forced to live on the outskirts of village, thus restricting their movement. In this way, they were segregated and become the Anthyajas or Untouchables. The untouchables (Panchamas or Avarnas) had no share in social, political and judiciary power.
