Atrocities against Dalits

Atrocities against Dalits refer to severe discrimination, violence, and social exclusion faced by historically marginalized groups in India, traditionally labeled as "untouchables." These acts include physical violence, discrimination in employment and education, forced labor, and social humiliation, often rooted in caste-based oppression. Such atrocities stem from deep-seated prejudice and the denial of equal rights, perpetuating inequality and suffering. Efforts are ongoing to protect Dalits through laws and social reforms, aiming to promote justice, dignity, and equal opportunity for all citizens, regardless of caste.
