People would probably not do anything but, some people will feel disgusted when they touch untouchables. Some are scared to touch them. Like me... I've been taught to never touch them or else I'll catch some dangerous disease and now I'm afraid to touch them. I feel like washing my hands for hours when I do. So, you can't say that it isn't an issue at all...

As I said, it depends. I was not taught such, but it is practiced at my ancestral house. They cannot enter our house with shoes on, and even their water glass is kept outside. On the other hand, here in Delhi, I see a different temperament. It can vary.
