Dalits

Dalits are members of a social group in India historically regarded as part of the lowest caste, often facing discrimination and social exclusion due to longstanding hierarchical traditions. Traditionally labeled as "untouchables," they have endured social disadvantages and marginalization. Though legally protected and increasingly integrated, Dalits continue to work toward equality, challenging caste-based prejudices and advocating for their rights. Understanding Dalits involves recognizing their significant cultural and social contributions as well as the ongoing struggles against caste-based discrimination in Indian society.
