In India, caste is a hereditary classification that every Indian is born into. The system too supports it as legally religion can be changed, but not caste. In the hierarchical caste system, Dalits are considered as belonging to the lowest caste and Brahmins are considered as the highest caste.

Dalits are severely oppressed and treated as inhumanely as possible by the oppressor upper castes. They are subject to a lifetime of ,marginalisation, exclusion and human rights violations. To this day, they are subject to systematic and systemised discrimination, marginalisation, stigma and violence in all its forms.

Caste based crimes like this abound in India and caste-based discrimination is rife even among Indians outside India. A couple of months back in another state Madhya Pradesh, an Adivasi man was urinated on by a Brahmin member of the ruling political party, the BJP.
