Please take a note that the social status of Dalits (untouchables) in India and Blacks in US are almost same. Both are discriminated socially. Dalit's icon in India was Dr. B.R. Ambedkar whereas Black's was Lincoln. Hence you should come out from your ignorance and please try to understand about Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and history of untouchables in India.

India has not taken any steps to stop dalit discrimination and violence against innocent citizens, the caste system has damaged the rights and dignity of dalits for centuries, even the law is not protecting, use your trip to raise dalit issue with leaders in India, speak about it, upliftthem!?.
