Detailed Solution

Hunters and Gatherers were classified as untouchables.
The lower class: hunters and gatherers, and those who assisted with burials were considered untouchable. To touch these persons was viewed as a sin or criminal act. Contact with untouchables was forbidden since it was against the law and tainted the laws and regulations. Any upper-class person who interacts with untouchables becomes unclean. In the later Vedic period, untouchables were shunned by society. The practice is still common in some rural communities with conservative ideologies.
