We send missions to the Moon and Mars, while on Earth we hurt & kill each other for purely made up reasons. Humanity is stupid as hell and the planet'll better off when we go extinct.

In India, caste is a hereditary classification that every Indian is born into. Dalits are severely oppressed and treated as inhumanely as possible by the oppressor upper castes. They are subject to a lifetime of marginalisation, exclusion and human rights violations. To this day, they are subject to systematic and systemised discrimination, marginalisation, stigma and violence in all its forms.

Caste based crimes like this abound in India and caste-based discrimination is rife even among Indians outside India. A few weeks back in another state Madhya Pradesh, an Adivasi man was urinated on by a Brahmin member of the ruling political party, the BJP.

In the hierarchical caste system, Dalits are considered as belonging to the lowest caste and Brahmins are considered as the highest caste.

Laws preventing caste discrimnation, like the one recently passed in Seattle, are essential to ensuing basic human dignity to all, Pro-Hindu groups oppose these anti-discrimination efforts.
