Enduring Inequality and Oppression: The Plight of Dalits within Hinduism in India

Author(s) MOHAMMAD SARIM

Abstract The caste system is a significant threat to Indian citizens’ liberties. It is possibly the world’s oldest surviving social structure, created by the brahmins to retain their primacy. The classification of castes has been further divided into 4 varnas. The brahmins are at the top of the list, followed by the Kshatriyas, then the vaishyas, and finally the Shudras. A fifth category exists outside of the varna system, consisting of persons classified as “untouchables” or Dalits; they are frequently assigned chores that are too ritually filthy to justify inclusion inside the regular varna system. Their tasks and rank within the caste system aren’t socially acknowledged.
Dalits have been also known as “untouchables” because they are viewed as filthy by the upper castes. If a member of the upper caste is touched by a Dalit or perhaps has their shadow crossed by a Dalit, they consider themselves unclean and must undergo a rigorous religious cleansing ritual. Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar states, “You must make your own efforts to remove caste; if not in my method, then in yours. I am sorry, but I will not be with you. I’ve decided to change. But, even when I leave your fold, I will actively support your movement.”
So, Through this paper everything will be analysed everything related to the community of Dalits. What are their sufferings? How are they treated by their own people? And what are the events that happened to them due to this cruel and inhuman behaviour? The paper is highlighting every single thing about Dalit’s suffering.
Keywords Dalit, Discrimination, Untouchables, out caste, broken people, injustice.
