Dalits are a group of people in India who have historically been marginalized and discriminated against due to their social status. They were previously referred to as "Untouchables" and were often assigned the lowest positions in the traditional caste system. This system categorized people based on their occupation and social standing, leading to significant social inequalities.
Despite facing challenges, Dalits have been actively working towards social justice and equality. Many have become advocates for their rights, striving to break free from the constraints of the caste system. Organizations and movements, such as Ambedkarite groups, have emerged to support Dalit empowerment and promote awareness about their struggles.
