INDIA hinduism value of a man dalit

Back


The dalits are India's outcasts, condemned from birth by a rigid caste system. They live in constant fear of arson, beatings and worse inflicted on them by social superiors desperate to protect their caste privileges. These are the poorest of India's poor. The untouchables. Pawns in a power struggle being waged in India's Hindu heartland. Poverty stricken, powerless, and under attack from every quarter, many dalits are turning to Communist guerrillas for help. But the battles are only getting bloodier. "The dalits are dirty and they are small. We pay them and then they can die", states landlord, Jintander. He belongs to the warrior caste and is at the top of village hierarchy. He rarely talks to his dalit servants as they fulfil their traditional role in life, cleaning excrement from his courtyard floor. Dalit are not allowed to enter his house. In fact, Jintander values them below his buffalos
