Dalit Christians

A sign at a Dec. 8, 2006, hunger sit-in by Christian Dalits in New Delhi, India, displays the deep roots of the caste system in India. Dalits are low castes who perform menial jobs and are treated as untouchables. (Credit: Anto Akkara/CNS.)

In a file photo, members of the audience listen to a speaker at a rally organized by National Conference of Dalit Organizations in New Delhi, India, Sunday, Dec. 5, 2005. Dalits, who belong to the lowest of castes according to the Indian caste system, came from different parts of India to participate in a rally to mark World Dignity Day. Caste is an ancient system of social hierarchy based on one’s birth that is tied to concepts of purity and social status. While the definition of caste has evolved over the centuries, under Muslim and British rule, the suffering of those at the bottom of the caste pyramid – known as Dalits, which in Sanskrit means broken — has continued.
