India is known for its cultural and technical advancement in recent time. People have changed their life style very much both in rural and urban areas. But what is strange is that the caste system becomes stronger and stronger. Dalits who are known as the Untouchables face violence more and more. Caste discriminates a person according to one's birth. Dalits who are outside the caste system are explited and oppressed very systematically. Most of the dalits are landless labourers and they work for a minimum wage to the landlords who exploit them to the maximum. These dalits are mostly illiterate and they can not get due justice. Since they are powerless both politiclaly and economically, they have no way of telling thier story to the rest of the world. The media is very much controlled by the caste people. Education and advancement have not changed the mind set up of the upper caste people who still want to enjoy the benefit of the caste discrimination. This system has enslaved 200 million dalits all over India to undertake the menial jobs that really deprive someone of human dignity and equality. The caste people consider the dalits as their own properties and use them in every way they can. Every day the dalits go through unspeakable horror and humiliation. Rape, violence and arsen are everyday phenomena. Dalits who raise their voice against this injustice are murdered. Their women are raped and houses are burnt. The dalits cannot assert their rights and freedom.
