Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Lower caste people were unhealthy for a long time.
Health means being free from diseases, having a sound mind, and having an excellent social environment. Being healthy does not only mean being mentally and physically fit, but it also has a third factor: social well-being. A person is said to be beneficial if all three elements are healthy. Let's consider this in the context of some communities in our society. We can say that the lower castes, like the Dalits, and OBCs, were, for a long time in the past, prone to a highly unhealthy social environment in which they had to face a lot of exploitation and humiliation from society, which made them sick. Some of them are still not healthy in our country, not because they may be prone to diseases, even those who don't have any disease, but because they suffer from exploitation like discrimination or ill-treatment because of belonging to a lower caste etc.
