Higher-caste. Dalit is the lowest caste in Hinduism
Is caste a Hindu-specific thing? I thought it was more of an ignorant racist classist nationalist thing?
“The government’s attitude also appears casteist—Dalits are beaten, discriminated against, denied water from common wells, barred from entering temples, raped and even ‘die cleaning drains.’ And now, a Dalit has been beaten so brutally that it led to his death, yet the government remains silent. This is extremely unfortunate,” he said.
Stratification of people are a wonderful idea
