Untouchability system is one of the oldest and bad system. This system is still in tradition in some parts of our county. People make discrimination on the basis of higher caste and lower caste. Higher caste people discriminate lower class people and show bad behavior towards them. Lower class people are not allowed even to have faith in god and worship god. They are humiliated by higher class in every matter. They are not even allowed to bring water from the public water supply.  The world is selfish and use people as their wants and needs. The color of blood is same among all people but the higher class people are discriminating lower people in every way. Since we all have the same color of blood we should be helpful towards each other and go together in every way. Almost all of us are educated now and we should make the people of our society aware of this system.

Talking about this, one day when I was young, my sister Riya had gone to bring water from public water supply. My neighbor aunt was also there. When my sister was going to fill water, neighbor aunt shouted at her for touching public water tape and she also threw her utensils away. My sister returned to home with tears in her eyes.

The higher class people can use the utensils and clothes made by lower class people but why can’t they eat the things that lower class people touch. This means the world is selfish for their wants and needs. So it is the responsibility of educated people to create awareness uprooting such system in our society.
