That’s why they are considered to be “untouchable”, i.e. the ones you mustn’t touch. And, so, they perform the hardest, the most menial and the most degrading job.
For example, in rich upper-caste families, the servants are Dalits. And someone in the family, washes – “purifies” – all that has been touched by Dalit Servants.

They are servants, brick makers, they clear sheets of dead animals or they unblock sewers or septic tanks by hand.
