Dalits are a marginalized community in India, traditionally considered outside of the Caste System, often referred to as "Untouchables." Historically, they have faced severe social discrimination, exclusion, and violence due to their lower status in the caste hierarchy. In contemporary India, Dalits continue to advocate for their rights and social justice, with various movements aimed at improving their socio-economic conditions and dismantling caste-based discrimination. Legal protections and affirmative actions have been implemented to support their empowerment and integration into mainstream society.
