Unreported world india - "the broken people" part 1/3

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.

it is amazing that republicans and wealthy american business men want to out source jobs to one of the most racist countries in the world but tell us to be open minded. I am with you people of god aka dalit so called untouchables and anyone who suffers from racism. Your day will come.

A shame to the whole world, shame to all of us. We sit, watch and don't/can't do any thing. USA and whole world is after Iraq, iran, Afganistan.. but what about these people, no help comes to them. Where is humanity?

indians cry their throats out against rascism in the world. at home they are the living ideals of racists. it is the biggest lie that India is secular. only an indian knows the extent to which the human rights are violated in routine life. only a dalit knows how it is like being a despised human

All of you should read Periyar in order to understand india and racism. the upper caste Brhmins are different and dalit community, culture, and ways of practices are different. india is not one. it is divided by the caste system. racial differences are pretty much present in caste system. According to Hindu scriptures all the shudhras and untouchables are outsiders.They should not be contacted in any way. the purity of an individual depends in the caste in which he/she is born.
