When the constitution of independent India took effect in 1950, this meant a break with a more than 2,000 year legacy of "Untouchability" - a set of discriminative practices that bound the lowest castes of society to low-status jobs and restricted their social mobility. For centuries, large sections of Indian society had lived under the many forms of discrimination connected with this stigma. In order to compensate for the social and economic setback caused by discrimination, a reservation policy was introduced that guaranteed the former Untouchables access to education and jobs.
