Most of our posts highlight some of the more humorous or unusual aspects of life in India, but both Andi and I have really been impacted by the reality of the way a lot of people are forced to live here in India. Because of the caste system, those who are thought of as "Dalits" (meaning "The Untouchables") are not even considered as human beings by some of those higher in caste.

A man who we hugely respect here, Joseph D'Souza, runs (amongst other things) an organisation called the Dalit Freedom Network. The aim of this organisation is to free these "Untouchables" from the oppression that caste forces upon them.
