Dear Dipak,

These are good studies:

Aktor, Mikael. 2002. Rules of Untouchability in Ancient and Medieval Law 
Books: Householders, Competence, and Inauspiciousness. International 
Journal of Hindu Studies 6, no. 3: 243-74.

Jha, Vivekanand. 1986-1987. Candala and the Origin of Untouchability. 
The Indian Historical Review 13, no. 1-2: 1-36.
