[|India: "Hidden Apartheid" of Discrimination Against Dalits] From the article you find that Dalits in India are segregated and are treated like dirt. They are beaten, women are sexually abused, and there human rights are ignored completely because they are the lower class. A prime minister has taken noticed to the mistreatment of the Dalits but changes are yet to be made.

[|India: UN Finds Pervasive Abuse Against Dalits] For years the Dalits have struggled in Indian Society due to where they are in the Caste System. In 2007 it was said that Indian government needs to take immediate steps to start to end the problems with Dalits. I chose this article because it took until 2007 to start to try and improve the issue with the Dalits. This means that it will take years for them to completely solve the problem, when will the Dalits be free?

[|Time to Tear Down the Wall of Caste] The article interseted me because it was trying to get the countries with caste systems to support UN framework to end the castes. What really caught my attention was the fact that The caste systems affect the human rights of 260 million people.

[|.][|... ......Latest News.Global: Flawed Policies Expose Migrants to Abuse] I chose this letter written to the prime minister of India because it highlighted that unless a stronger form of leadership was set in place for India the Dalits would continue to suffer.In the letter it explained that 165 million Dalits in India will remain living a life of abuse just becuase of the caste their born into. I thought it was important becuase it shows how badly the issue has gotten and how India has done nothing to fix the issue. media type="custom" key="7977776"

The video shows Dalits themselves telling people about their struggles. They are sectioned away from higher classed people becuase the Dalits are considedered dirty. Children are also put to work in places that are only for Dalits. This clip is great for showing the lives of Dalits and the violation of their rights. I was very interested in what the Dalits had to say but at the same time felt horrible that they have to live through life without their human rights.
