Guana, calling an Indo a Dalit is the same as addressing an Afro person with the racist N word. Shame on you !!!!!!!!!!

Dum, Dum, Dalit is the desired label for a class of people in India not under the brahaminic caste category. Ambedcar, the father of modern india,  directly insisted on this term as a political identity opposing the term suggested by Ghandi, "Harijan" (sp). Amdedcar believed these these people formerly designated  "the unscheduled" caste are a group with special demands on the state. Today it is used as such in political advocacy in ways similar to terms as "minority" or LGBT are used to address a group with demands on the state.
