Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
As provisioned in the Indian Constitution, untouchability has been legally abolished in India under Article 17 (Abolition of Untouchability). Untouchability is a social malpractice which discriminates against a group of people socially. It considers the lower class and marginalised sections of society as inferiors. This practice has been legally and constitutionally abolished. But the sad truth remains that it is still practised in many parts of the country, directly and indirectly.
The correct statement would be that untouchability might exist in a few parts of India but has been legally abolished.
