Explanation:
The Right to Equality, which is a category of Fundamental Rights, incorporates protection against untouchability as a form of discrimination. Article 17 of the Indian Constitution specifically prohibits untouchability in any form. It ensures that no person can be discriminated against or treated as untouchable on the basis of their caste, religion, race, or birth. The Right to Equality aims to promote social justice and eradicate discriminatory practices such as untouchability.
