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

If the caste system served any useful societal purpose in ancient Indias past we with our modern eyes cannot fairly judge. However, I would like to think in the 21st century our consciousness has risen and we have realized the injustice in continuing such a system. If India wants to be herald as a fully democratic and modern society, there is no place for a system that discriminates against 300 million humans. Change might be slow, but the rest of the civilized world must demand it.

There is a mention of Caste system in some of our literatures, although not much importance is give to them, and it doesn't says that caste of a person is defined by his Parents ,instead it's one's deeds and qualities is what makes him belong to a particual caste according to the scriptures, it's only later on that it all started getting decided based on one's lineage. On one side we have left this age old pathetic thing in our religion but Islam has no scope of improvement inbuilt in it.

Situation is not as grim as this video shows for so called Dalits, in India we have 28 percent reservation for them in Govt jobs, Chief Minister of one of our state is a Dalit, it's one of a increasingly rare cases, we(Hindus) have understood that it was all wrong and have rectified it, infact one can be booked for practising Untouchability in India. In next 30-40 years it would all be gone for sure.
