Talk:Dalit

Unfortunate politicization

This article follows Indian political polarization by crediting B R Ambedkar's leadership and almost completely ignoring Mahatma Gandhi. Yet "the removal of untouchability was one of Gandhi's central concerns". As was normally the case with Gandhi, he put ideals into practice. In his ashram, everyone had to dig trenches and dispose of their own excrement. As far as is known, the illustrious Columbia Ph.D. B R Ambedkar never did so. In fact, Ambedkar and Gandhi had exactly the same objectives with respect to Dalits or Harijans.

It must also be recognized that Gandhi had incredible respect and influence in India. So his efforts to erase untouchability had a great impact on caste Hindus' opinion and behavior. Last but not least, it must also be recognized that the loathed RSS, denounced as Hindu nationalists in the West, was founded on elimination of caste distinctions, and its leadership includes backward castes (such as Narendra Modi). I do not understand why these significant facts have been left out. Sooku (talk) 01:51, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Reassessing as C class

There are currently several hatnote tags such as confusing, undue weight, etc. in the article to be cleared for this article to be considered a B-class. As of now, I feel this article qualifies only for a C-class, so I'm reassessing this. Once these issues are cleared and more contents and few illustrative images added, we can move it to B class.

A Different Perspective on the Meaning of Dalit(दलित)

Beside the meaning of Sanskrit word "दलित"(Dalit) 'broken', 'scattered' in classical Sanskrit, it also means 'kneaded', 'pressurized' , 'downtrodden' when applied in a more specifically personal context.

As Sanskrit is the origin lan. of Hindi and the letter-format is same for both Hindi and Sanskrit  except  for the first two letters of the alphabet of the languages , the Sanskrit meaning is same of a Sanskrit word as the Hindi meaning of that very same word. 

For confirmation, one can see the eng. translation of the word 'दलित' in official "Google Translate" app offered by Google LLC making the Tr. system from Hindi to English.
