Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Constitution of India lays down the principles that make our society and polity more Democratic. They defined Fundamental rights in part 3 of the Indian constitution. They also give a list of rights available to all Indian citizens equally without discrimination. Fundamental rights force the authority to recognise the injustice that happens to marginalised people and insist the government make a law to enforce it. Therefore, Article 17 of the Indian Constitution prohibits Untouchability in any form. It is the only fundamental right in the constitution which is in absolute form, which means there are no reasonable restrictions behind this article.
