unreported world india

Reporter Ramita Navai and producer Siobhan Sinnerton travel through India exposing the horrific plight of the country's 170 million Dalits: literally "the broken people", and previously called "the untouchables"; who are at the bottom of India's caste system and are some of the most oppressed people on Earth. Economic growth has done little to improve the Dalits' lot; despite legislation, they still form 60 per cent of all those below the poverty line. Now, as Unreported World reports, Dalits are starting to fight for political power in an Indian civil rights movement.why is no one talking about this we were all up in arms about shilpa shetty the muslims got upset over a book and a cartoon and are always screaming about kashmir & palestine , the sikhs got upset over a play, but what about the plight of the dalits no one has said anyting.

  • The Communists and other Revolutionary parties want to thank the upper-castes for making Dalits such easy recruits for their membership!

  • ISI AND PAKISTAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS CASTE SYSTEM

  • omg,lord have mercy.INDIA is doomed,they fool people with there fancy movies,and most of them are even darker than east africans.

  • @whateverrule It is the same situation in India. Caste system in India nowadays is rich vs poor.

  • @IndiaandCanada The caste system does not exist in China, so if you are successful, you could move up the social ladder. However, people are not born equal anywhere in the world, so some people are always richer than others.

  • i m chamar frm punjab n the chamars hve made their status with hard work n guts...there is no body in punjab who can torture chamars now a days......nobody even dares n wont...............so as it should be all parts of india.....be proud be chamar.....

  • Power differentials in all their forms lead to injustices like this. Absolutely vile. Accountability through a functioning justice system is just one thing that's needed here.

    sigh... so sad

  • In China it is the same problem. Dalits in China are called peasants.
