Today, nothing if it is a legally "inoffensive" touching.
If it is legally offensive or threatening, there may be a criminal charge for assault and/or battery.
The perceived castes of the parties is irrelevant under Indian law today [although some Dalit politicians and "activists" make political hay out of their previous status]. If the touching is truly accidental and not as a result of negligence with harm resulting, nothing happens to the Dalit [the real name for the people who used to be called "pariah" and "untouchable."]
India is one of the hippest, most progressive countries in the world - concern about caste is mostly limited to the most backward, rural areas of the country.

they get cooties? Sorry LOL. I think the untouchable person become defiled or dirtied in some way, temporarily at least, if touched by an untouchable & the untouchable gets horribly refbuffed & is further reviled. I presume you are talking about a caste system.
