The Hindu caste system is a complex stratification of Hindu society. Formed from the Laws of Manu, it has governed much of Hindu history.
At the top of Hindu society were the Brahmin. As members of this caste, Brahmins made up the priestly caste of Hindu society. For them was reserved the right to both study and teach the Hindu sacred texts, known as the Vedas.
Next, were the Kshatriya. As members of this caste, the Kshatriya were the kings or rulers of Hindu society. Although they were very powerful, it was their duty, or dharma, to protect the other members of their culture.
Speaking of the other members of society, there were the Vaishya and the Shudra. The Vaishya were those who engaged in money-making activities, while the Shudra were basically considered servants to everyone else.
Last, and so low they were outside of the caste system, were the Untouchables. As either products of a mixed marriage between castes or holding a job that was considered forbidden, Untouchables were truly outcasts of Hindu society.

Dalits
Daltis are more commonly known as the untouchable caste because they are seen as completely polluted human beings who are unable to attain any source of religious practice as a result they are only allowed carry out the most unhygienic and hardworking occupations. Those belonging to other varnas (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra) are often content with their higher status and treat those in the Dalits caste with very little respect. For example, Dalits are likely to be victims of physical abuse if they walk down the same road as a Brahmin.

Since it was forbidden for Hindus to touch dead cows and since leather comes from the hide of dead cows, my job would make me an Untouchable.
