According to the general principle of caste, untouchables suffer from religious and civil disabilities where as privileges were endowed with the Brahmins. In actuality this is a theoretical postulation. The nature form and pattern of privileges and disabilities associated with various caste groups vary from a given region to another. For instance, in caste of South India, residential segregation was absolutely maintained putting Brahmins in agar harm and untouchables in Cherrie. In case of North India, the residential segregation was not as strict and the untouchables were just secluded to the outskirts of the village. All over India certain type of taboos and retrains were associated with the untouchables denying them opportunity to use village roads, wells, temples and other facilities.
