He is taling about the discrimination against the Dalit christians and how they want to believe in christianity but are having a hard time because of the discrimination against them. also it is about what is being done to have them be allowed to worship in the temples and be accepted into the christian community.

Artifact: [|Dalits stage mass rally in Mumbai] This article is about the rally that happened on the 50th anniversary of Dr Ambedkars death. I chose it because it talks about the many people that chose to continue Dr Ambedkars work in having the dalits accepted into the indian society. It also talks about the retaliations of the Dalits against the government during the rally.

Artifact: [|Discriminatory laws against Dalits to be repealed]  I chose this article because it talks about the repeal of laws that discriminate against the Dalits. The only problem is that they do not think that there are any laws that say that they don't have equal rights as the other cast members. The dalits do not have the same education, healthcare and are not as equal economic wise to the other members of society. It says that they are technically equal but in the real picture they arn't.

Artifact: [|The Untouchables' protest march] I chose this video because it is a march of all of the people who are not treated as fairly as everyone else. They chose to sit and wait. They refused to move until their voices are heard and their prblems are heard.
