Solution

The correct option is B Hindu - Sikh
The practice of untouchability was in vogue in Ancient which continued to prevail in modern India also. It is a practice of excluding or isolating persons of lower caste from social participation. Article 17 of the constitution abolishes untouchability and forbids its practice. The Untouchability Offences Act enacted in 1955 (presently Protection of Civil Rights, 1976) in the spirit of the constitutional mandate which provides for penalties of such practices so defined in it. The Hindu-Sikh Religion classified people on the caste system in the Vedic era whereby lower castes people are considered as untouchables.
